The colors of Plumeria

The flowers of the Plumeria are splendid but this plant does not spread in Italy because can not withstand cold winters.
A photo taken in the greenhouse near home, back lit at dawn. 

D800E, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/19 and ISO 480.

Always grateful for your opinions and advices.

Wonerful colors and an interesting perspective Gigi!  The high-key BG works well.  I would enjoy the chance to shoot some plumeria flowers!

Very eye-catching, Gigi. Excellent use of the backlighting and high-key bg for an artisitic and dramatic look.

Lovely, graphic quality, Gigi,with the leaves playing as important a role as the flowers.  I love the soft light !!
