About the Image(s)

This Plumeria pudica was captured while it was winter in our country. This image was captured from the farm house called ASTRAS in Pabna area of Bangladesh; I visited the farm on 8th December in 2022. The ASTRAS remain filled with many gardens of seasonal flowers. Whenever I get an opportunity I use it as much as possible to shoot the flowers from those beautiful gardens.

I used my Samsung S 23 Ultra mobile's camera for the images (It was a late morning and I shot hand held & without gimbal). with no flash compulsory, I captured the image. I used Photoshop CS6 for editing and post processing (to crop, discard & use paint filter) to create this, out of the original image before submission.

I hope you will enjoy the image and kindly give me your feedback on it.

I like the look you gave to this image. It appears that you rotated it and that puts the bigger bloom at the bottom supporting the other two - good composition in my opinion. I tried to crudely take out that top part that appears to flip over and the lower left white area that is probably part of another flower. Overall it's a nice job on the original.   Posted: 11/11/2024 03:39:19

Hi Kamal. I really like the treatment you have applied to these plumeria blooms, removing the background and adding the texture, as well as rotating them to create a strong composition. I also think the slight shadow effect at the edge of the blooms is effective at making the image more 3-dimensional. I lived in Hawaii for a few years in the 70's, and your image brings back memories of the wonderful fragrance that surrounds plumerias which are prolific in Hawaii!   Posted: 11/19/2024 18:48:48

Kamal, I really like what you did here, pulling out just the three Plumeria works great. You've kept the vibrancy of the flowers and remove a very hectic background. I'd maybe play with different background colors and texture to see what works best. Great job.   Posted: 11/19/2024 19:06:34
