[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These vivid crimson-red flowers belong to the New Zealand pohutukawa tree (syn. Metrosideros excelsa) which commonly flower around Christmas and into the New Year. They are robust trees growing on the coastline in craggy, rocky locations and even from cliff faces.

Hi Martyn,

beautiful flowers with great colors. good sharpness and details with good use of lights here. good dof and pov as well.

Tfs,
Sanjib

Hi Martyn,
Ah my lovely pohutukawa :-) Well captured, although I'm not sure about the frame, which is rather distractive in my opinion. Well that might be personal, but the flowers itself are well captured. Fine natural colours, maybe reducing the brightness and increasing the contrast might improve the picture even more!

A little early for the Kiwi Xmas tree !! Nice detail and colour.

Hi Martyn,
Very good photo, topped off by an excellent presentation. Looking forward to the return of summer again, these Pohutukawa flowers are so photogenic. You've captured the vibrant red tones nicely here, great focus from the shallow DOF too.

TFS,
Scott.
