[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of the delights of summer in my little backyard garden is this particular variety of bougainvillea with it's orange-to-pink blossoms. I was digging through my TL queue to weed out images that I was no longer apt to post and found this one from last year. Figured I ought to post it now before another summer slipped by:)

PP: I don't really remember, but was still shooting in JPEG then. Probably tweaked color/contrast a bit, resized, sharpened, added border.

looks opulent and happy, love the comp and colours, not sure about the 'frame' in the image, but that's just a personal thing, ultimately, you are the 'artist' and have the last word, lol, M, (*_*)

Hello Karen,
Bougies are my favourite and I really like the colours here and how the flowers fill up the frame.
I agree with Magda, not sure about the inner frame, but, that is a personal choice.
Nice details also.
Good job.

Nice sharp shot Karen... My garden's full of these, although they don't flower so much in the summer heat.
Well exposed - not always easy in strong sunlight. Interesting frame too.

Hello Karen, from the thumbnail I thought that these were sweet peas.
The sunlight brings out all the beautiful shades of pink and red;your sharpness is excellent.
I like the framing.
Tfs, regards Jean.
