This was taken while on my honeymoon in Madeira 2004. We were going for a bite to eat when I came across these flowers at the side of the road. I only used my finepix F610, nothing fancy. I feel its the best shot I've got at the moment because I've not had a proper chance to give the 350d a wirl, this should change though, 'cause I'm going to Port Issac in 2 weeks, so hope to have some corkers. Please feel free to comment as I always listen good or bad, 'cause thats the only way to improve.

Hi Glen - the colours on that look interesting but I can't see much else :D Any chance of a larger image. You can go to max 800 on longest size and max 160kb file size.

Here you go Glen. You linked to the thumbnail image.

You're a bit oversize there Gen... 160kb. If you could resize it a bit. :)
 
Looks like a bit of fill flash going on there!
 
That's better....as I was saying, very vibrant colours and IMO the flower is nicely framed by the foliage. Good'n.

Agree it is a great pic, save for the obvious flash and the intrusion top left ... very minor detail and only mo !

'tis a Bird of Paradise plant ! (Strelitzia reginae) a native of South Africa, a herb and relative to the humble Banana !

HTH ?
 
They are all over the place in madeira, because the climate is sub-tropical there are all sorts of weird and wonderfull plants & flowers. Very nice place to have your holiday if you've never been, can highly recommend 'Reids Palace' where we stayed.
