[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A macro shot of a plumeria (frangipani) taken infront of a street altar in Bangkok. I believe the flower to the top right is jasmine, but I could be wrong.

Along the busy streets of Bangkok, I was awed to see many decorative outdoor altars (or mini temples) where Buddhists from all walks of life pray and offer flowers, incense, and food.

Plumeria is a tropical favorite well-known for its intensely fragrant, beautifully shaped spiral blooms which appear at branch tips June through October. Travelers often recognize plumeria as the colorful fragrant blossoms used to make Hawaiian leis, so for many these flowers are cherished reminders of delightful vacations. For generations, plumeria have also been the preferred flowers for island weddings, with sweet, strong scents and long lasting waxy blooms in luscious shades.

Hi Danilo,
This is a very strange coincidence. I took a picture of exactly this same flower this morning in the local zoo thinking I would never know the name of this species. And there you have it: a Plumeria here on TL. Thank you for that and of course thanks for this very beautiful still live.

Paul

Hi Danilo,
simple but wonderful - I love this flower so much, to see them inside the temples is wonderful. Also in this arrangement against the green leaves. I had a look at your other shots - I love your style, wonderful flowers, some drops sometimes, so fresh and with good sharpness, you did wonderful work, thanks

Bonjour.
Tu as très bien photographié cette fleur de frangipanier.
Il est vrai qu'elle est très belle avec ce coeur jaune et ces pétales blanches...

Beautiful shot! Very good exposure,the DOF very good and the colors very natural. I feel that I can reach out and touch the flower.
Very good work.
Vassilis

P.S. Smilies ASAP

Something I like about the shape of the flower in this one. I can't put my finger on it. I guess you don't always have to have a reason why you like an image as long as you like it.
