. . . . .

This is based on my simple observation when visiting Bali for years, and this flower can be found anywhere in Bali, and mostly used for daily accessories or when there is ritual activities . .

I don't know the name, but in Indonesia it's called "Bunga Kamboja" . .

This flower is also found at almost every cemetery in Indonesia . .

Where did I capture this picture? Bali of course . . While building relationship with squirels and birds, I notice this flower which is lighted partially by the sun . .

Desaturated green to make darker and BW the BG, incr luminance and saturation of yellow to increase yellow appearance . . Add frame and resize . .
This is the only technique that I learn, I know and I practise . .

Hope you like it . . and thank you for viewing it . .

I am not in a good mood today . .

Cheers,
Tjutjut

Isn't this a wonderfully composed image - beautiful contrast and clarity. The desaturation resulted in a very pleasing posting.

Which beautiful work of PP, you made my friend, with this perfect desaturation which underlines the beauty of these flowers. Good effect with the saturation.

Such sunny colours should lift your spirits!
Great PP work to make the flowers stronger than the BG -- but perhaps just a very little light green would also work?
Just a thought ... ... not worth the paper it is printed on :D

Great composition and details

Very beautiful! I belive these are plumerias.

Plumerias are a tropical favorite well-known for their 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.
