Red Ixora
Ixora is a genus from the family Rubiaceae, consisting of tropical evergreens and shrubs. Though native to tropical areas in Asia, especially India, ixora now grows commonly in tropical climates in the USA, such as Florida. Ixora is also commonly known as West Indian Jasmine. Other common names include: rangan, kheme, ponna, chann tanea, techi, pan, santan, jarum-jarum, Jungle flame, Jungle geranium, and many more. Plants possess leathery leaves, ranging from 3 to 6 inches in length, and produce large clusters of tiny flowers in the summer. Members of Ixora prefer acidic soil, and are suitable choices for bonsai.
Red ixora flowers are commonly used in Hindu worship, as well as in Indian folk medicine.
Taken during my working visit, quick point and shoot not much time allowed to enjoy .
Distance shot, reduced shadow, balanced light and contrast , cropped and frame. I thought of getting good depth of field but the longer the lens the difficult it becomes with mnipulaton of elements as well as steady and stout hands.

Hello Foozi,

The subject is well framed, and the red colour is well reproduced!
The flowers stand out well on the dark background, and the composition is nicely balanced...
Maybe kit is my screen but maybe a tad soft?

Greetings,
