Hibiscus

Took a few minutes while I was previewing property to take a photo of this hibiscus against the water. I realize now that I had the ISO set higher than normal. Otherwise, I think this would have been a better shot. At least I didn't have to resort to uploading one of the shots I took while stopped at a stop light! Sorry to not make as many comments as usual.

Interesting perspective. I like it! I hear ya. My commenting is at a low spot too. Life keeps getting in the way.

@drewhuy Thanks for dropping by! Just now downloading some of my work photos from earlier. I appreciate your comments very much.

@danette, I wish I had time to comment more. Work..elderly parents..etc etc. BTW, In my opinion..wrong ISO, noise..whatever, doesn't really hurt an interesting photo.

You have created a very interesting effect here, Danette. Lovely the sparkly bokeh against the red of the flower.

Beautiul! One of my favorite flowers! I love the sparkling bokeh of the water!

[Linda Webb]

Very pretty, Danette, like everyone else I think the bokeh from the water really makes it!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Gorgeous shot. I like this shot this way because it looks like an acrylic painting.

Very nice...I like the perspective and the shadows.

This is not an easy shot. But it came out very nice and I love the bokeh from the water.
