Thanks very much, Jill, Janine, Rob, Darryl, Susan, Donna, Evy, Margaret and Leanne! I should add that I was inspired by the magnificent frangipani images of Stan Contrades! After trying it, and realising how difficult they can be to capture, I can appreciate the beauty of Stan's images even more!! #2279261

Robyn, if you hadn't told us that this was your first attempt at photographing these GORGEOUS blooms we surely would NEVER have known!! You have done a FANTASTIC job with this capture, and the added effects just make it PERFECT!! :o)

These are one of my VERY favourite flowers, too!! I was actually fortunate enough to have them feature in my bridal bouquet (nearly 37 years ago now!)!! :o)

BP's resident Mr Flowers, Stan Contrades, will have to watch his back now that you have started photographing AND producing such BEAUTIFUL images as this one, Robyn!! ;o) Keep up the GREAT work, and have a LOVELY evening!! :o) #2279281
