It is a very nice capture, the hardest thing to do is to properly expose that white color without blowing it out. You done a perfect job of exposure.

Hello photodawg1;
Do you really call these "Rose of Sharon"?
These are what we call a Hibiscus...
"Our" "Rose of Sharon" is a small yellow ground-cover flower that grows like a weed...
There we are again - two peoples seperated by a common language!
Anyhow - nice shot of a beautiful flower - whatever we decide to call it!
Cheers;

Interesting discussion on common names. Now we know why scientists prefer the Latin names. There is only one name per organism.
