Beautiful day

This photo was inspired by Jammy's entry in exhibition. His is a lot better than this one.

Thank you Jammy.

Just lovely aam, this shot has a wonderful feel and look for me also.
Bougainvilleas are everywhere here and are a favourite subject of mine too.

Well done :-).

Hope this version works better.

(I misspelled your name Mary Anne, sorry about that).

Thanks CJ. I too like the bird.
Agree with you Marry Anne, I wasn't sure if it fits the topic. Did a little editing and hope it will fit better, will upload it shortly.

Thank you ladies.

This is a tough kind of shot to do, Aam. You know that the flowers are backlit, but they don't really look that way in the photo. I know, as I've tried a number of these myself. At least we've got a couple more days to get a photo that (hopefully) looks the way we want it to. :-)

Nice one Aam! I like the bird up there in the sky too! CJ

This is a nice subject for a picy Aammm, well done mate. I think you could have emphasised the back lighting more by exposing more for the flowers than the sky. I gave it a touch up in PS to mimic if it was exposed on the flowers. Just some contrast & brightness tool & the dodging tool. I posted it in Pending:-)
