Description

Pink & Yellow Star Calibrachoa - Made this image with the 180 lens. Was shooting upwards, and was quite a challenge, as this was more of a tree

A wild looking plant, Balan. I like the result you got with the yellow flower placed nicely in the frame.

Sounds like a challenge. Shooting up into things is always a bit awkward, but I’m glad you tried as this is such a distinctive photo. The color and texture in the leaves reminds me of poinsettia. That little flower peeking out though…that’s different. I like the drops of water, too. More uniformity in the leaves would be nice, as would not having the somewhat faded one poking out, but what can you do? Nature gives us little choice in some things, but with a gift like this, we shouldn’t complain.
