THis is beautiful. Personally, I think that Bird of Paradise is difficult to photograph but you have pulled it off nicely. Nice lines and color. #2289673

Thank you very much for your support, Janine and Lorri!

Lorri, I still think it is quite a challenge subject. I have tried so many times in the past to photograph them, never very happy about the results. This is the first version I'm pleased with the result. I'm glad you like it too. #2296608
