[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Orange—specifically, sweet orange—refers to the citrus tree Citrus sinensis (syn. Citrus aurantium L. var. dulcis L., or Citrus aurantium Risso) and its fruit. The orange is a hybrid of ancient cultivated origin, possibly between pomelo (Citrus maxima) and tangerine (Citrus reticulata). It is a small angiosperm tree growing to about 10 m tall with evergreen leaves, which are arranged alternately, of ovate shape with crenulate margins and 4-10 cm long. The orange fruit is a hesperidium.

The word "orange" ultimately comes from Sanskrit narang. Oranges originated in southeast Asia, in either India, Vietnam or southern China. The fruit of Citrus sinensis is called sweet orange to distinguish it from Citrus aurantium, the bitter orange. In a number of languages, it is known as a "Chinese apple" (e.g. Dutch Sinaasappel (China's apple)).

This photo was taken in Évora, in the garden of Hotel Ibis. The orange tree was loaded with yummy sweet oranges! Plenty of vitamin C!

Very fresh looking composition Joao. I like the DOF and saturation of colours. TFS
