New Zealand - wow. And I don't think I've ever seen a silk tree. Do they bloom all year long? Anyway, this is a very nice photo rendition and welcome to the challenge.

hi,

thanks for the comments! appreciate them.

Im new here, and am enjoying viewing all the wonderful pics people take here.

This is commonly known as the "silk tree" here in New Zealand. This was taken at a local zoo here.

you can google silk tree "new zealand" to find out more!

thanks again,

Silk? Good details and colors although the lack of pp robs it of possible impact. I think this could look good even in B&W with dodged in highlights and burned in shadows. -tv
