I dont know what it is but its very nice indeed ...

Thank you very much!

These plants are also called "Airplants" because they don't need any soil. They use their roots to hold onto something and get all the water they need through their leaves.

Wonderful compo and colour:D

The colors are nice but the tone/contrast is low.

Beautiful flower and well composed.

Lovely shot Bea :)
Think I would have put the flower a bit more over the left.

My thanks to HF, Bama and Brian!
I re-worked this version (more pop was indeed needed) and also found another shot I liked. Hope you like these too, please let me know what you think :)

[Bama]

pict # 1 is much much better.

The colors and tone are just right.

I agree, Bama. I like it much better too :). Thanks for making me change it!

You've captured some interesting detail, Bea.
Do you know what the white --geez, I don't even know what to call it -- whatever is?

I should have paid attention during HS biology class.:o

Regards

Oh BTW, I think you did a fine job with the photo :)

Great shot Bea...definitely more punch after the editing...this would benefit from some closer shots because the flower looks so interesting...thanks:)

[dazzlebea]

Thank you so much for your nice words. :)

Steve: the white part , the top of the "pistil", is called "stigma". The yellow thingies are called "anthers", they are part of the "stamens".
