This summer beautiful flower is unusual here.

Taken in the greenhouse near home.

Thanks for your thoughts and advices.

Gigi, beautiful work. The almost textureless plumeria makes the most of color, shading and line. Combined with the OOF background, it is truly a unique picture. Really a cut above!

Beautiful, Gigi! The whites are handled extremely well in a perfect composition. The water drops add nice points of interest. Excellent image!

Gigi - Excellent shot of the Frangipani Flower !. They smell sweet too. Love the detail laden whites and the processing specially which involves manual blending. I would not have imagined blending had you not mentioned.

A flower splendidly captured in its pristine whiteness and softness, Gigi ! The title is well chosen to express the mood of the image.
