Bougainvillea. Spectacular orange/pink bracts which surround the actual tiny, white flower. I attempted a vignette....wrong? Cheers, Brad :)

Phil, I carry an umbrella with me and when I take pictures like this I use the umbrella to place the flower in the shade and it gives me much more detail in the subject. It will keep you from getting the lighter parts blown out by putting it in the shade and eliminating the harsh direct light.

I'm going old school. Had a batch of slides from the late 70's scanned and got them back today. This was among the family photos. I was a very bad shot back then with my FM and 50 1.8. But in my defense, EVERYTHING WAS MANUAL. Shot on Kodachrome, with my Nikon camera, I love to take photographs, etc.

Gives off a very dreamy quality. I rather like it. Almost like a smudged pastel artwork.

Is this one of the children or is it your wife? Hard to tell in some of these old family photos. LOL

Thanks grandpaw for the advice. I do think this one with a bit of post editing looks better. What say you.
