Hi Monika and Josh

A familiar sight throughout Brisbane. There's one of these, down the end of my street. I think they're native to Africa? Excellent color & sharpness. Well done!

Hi M&J - this is a very nice shot - colourful, sharp and well exposed. Your frame is nicely done and you guys appear to be naturals. I have gone through your photos, and you have some really nice ones, pointing to great composition. As your intro says you are relatively new, so for practice, try taking this flower indoors ( with grandma's permission) and do a few indoor shots - change the light(angles and diffused versus direct) and different backgrounds. You'll be amazed with a little training , your eyes start to caputre things that were never there. I look forward to seeing more of your shots.

Hi Guys, I just planted some of these in my garden. I thought they were from New Guinea, i'll have to go find out now

Found out they're name is "Strelitzia reginae"
they are a native of South Africa

Nice photo well done, given the size of these flowers I would have looked for something within the shot to demostrate it.

Well done
Gideon

Hi Minky and Josh,
You have taken a lovely photo here from our front garden. I love the robust colours in the bird of paradise and the greenery behind. The details are good and I like the thick black frame. Black is a good choice as it really brings out the colour in the photo.
Well done and good PP work!
Your Aunty Claudia.
