Took this at dawn a couple days ago in our back yard. The humidity was somewhere near 110% as the sun filtered through the haze and trees. All comments welcome. >=))>

Bill - Great capture of the Twin Oleanders (?). I like how one is so bright and the other taking some diffused light. The lighting of the throat in the one on the left looks cool too.

Nicely composed, Bill, and excellent use of the early morning light.

Love the two completely different views, both in focus and with gorgeous colors. Very nice composition also.

Fantastically captured light, Bill. Those colors are divine. Great background, too.

Bill:
Nice contrast of light between the two blooms. Like supporting buds also. Make the triangular green bg in the LLC disappear and the almost total black bg would make the flowers shin.

Very beautiful light and colors on these two beautiful flowers, Bill! I also like the buds with their nice saturated color.

Hi Bill.
Two twins with different dresses: blue in the shade and red in the sun. A very strong contrast of light and color.
Cheers.
