Pink flower?

[Orako]

Not sure what kind of flower this is, I found it growing in the backyard.



I have a few more photos, I need separate topics for each?

Love the colors but coming in a little closer would show more detail of this beautiful speciman.

I agree with the first poster in that closer would have helped. However be careful of loss of depth of field. Perhaps a closer crop would work better here. Regarding separate topics for each additional photo, I can only speak for myself. Unless the photos are interrelated and need to be presented as a group for contrast or comparison, I prefer to comment on a single photo at a time.

Thank you both for the reply. I will post seprate topics then.

Have you seen the "bucket method" for photographing flowers? Check under the "tips" section - easy DIY instructions with some cool results (check the posts). Just a thought for future floral subjects. really nice color in your shot!

You've taken a beautiful shot of a beautiful flower while blurring the background. Good work! This flower is far too beautiful to be in the same scene as the dirt and straw. It's ok to rearrange the scene and lift/pose the flower at a loftier level, free of the dirt and grime!
Great colour!

Nice shot, but I agree with the others about the background. Looks a bit cluttered and not-so-nice for me.
