Pohutukawa

The theme for camera club this month is 'red'. After high winds on the weekend, there were lots of pohutukawa leaves on the lawn, so I decided to have a play with them. I'm not sure this image will make the cut, but it was fun anyway.

Superb tones, detail and subtle use of a dark vignette drawing the eye it the focus point, fits the theme well Dianne:)

[Wylie]

beautiful colours and patterns, fav

[Babs]

Interesting leaves, they look as though they have been eaten by some sort of insect. Love the colours.

[Bep]

Beautiful. Never heard of a Pohutukawa. Suppose it's a Maori name?

[Henri Russell]

Nice textures in the fallen leaves.

Nice shot - love that they aren’t perfect - I like the tones and edit - gives depth

[Margaret Brown]

A nice mix of reds and autumn shades,the holes are plentiful!!

@gijsje yes and it has beautiful red flowers around December, so we call it the NZ Christmas tree.

Considering the pohutukawa is not deciduous it has a lot of leaf fall.. looks good altogether..

[Pat Knowles]

The leaves look quite thick & rubbery....wonderful colour no wonder it’s the NZ Christmas tree! I like them here lying heaped up!
