Albert: I can count on zero fingers the begonia images I've taken that please me. This is excellent with the flowers juxtaposed against the wood. Superior comp and a fine capture. >=))>

Beautiful shot Albert. I like the flowers very much but like the wood just as well. I also like the orthogonal diagonals in the composition. Very nice.

This is superb. What a great mixture of color and texture. I love the wood background.

Very nicely done. I'd be scared going near anything that has red in it :cool: . I love the flowers going along the diagonal and the lines provided by the backdrop.

Reminds me of some of Gigi's photos.

Beautiful colors and great background. You have done a great job with a difficult subjet.

Wonderful, wonderful light and color! The contrast in textures from wood to flowers is excellent also.

Nice shot Albert. The red begonias fit perfectly to the brown old wood BG. :toast:

Such a difficult flower to photograph, Albert - and you have done a splendid job. The movement across the frame and the bg wood make this an excellent composition.
