Taken at the arboretum green house. I chose to keep the lighting low and loved how that made the colors more bold.

Frank, you made the right choice.The subtle lighting does let this Bird of Paradise display its colors to full advantage. The details and clarity are superb as well. You've inspired me to search again for a perfect Bird of Paradise to photograph. Yours qualifies as the standard to shoot for.Reynaldo D. Reyes April 28, 2016
Love the saturation here and the flattering light gives that superb rendition of the colors and details. Excellent work. #11467059Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
