Description
Beautiful color macro side view of a red hibiscus blossom, dripping wet. In addition to the water droplets, some of which are dangling from the flower, and one of which is blue, interesting shapes and patterns in the petals are seen. In this exquisite, detailed closeup photograph, stem and petal details are seen in sharp focus. Lovely bokeh.
This unique and exquisitely detailed profile of a red hibiscus has not been enhanced. As-shot, with minimal cleanup, and cropped to the equivalent of an 8x10 to beautify a wall of your home or office. Larger sizes are available, as are greeting cards. Should you need a full-size, uncropped version, such as for a bookcover, print ad, or larger wall print, you will find it in my Botanicals Gallery. You will find other hibiscus images there as well, including some of this flower.
Hibiscus are in the mallow family, Malvaceae, sometimes called rose mallow. A large vivid flower often made into tea or worn in the hair, and the symbol of many nations, hibiscus bloom daily in spring and summer in tropical or subtropical areas around the world. This red hibiscus plant thrives in Texas.
The colors of love seen on the dark background: green (freshness and growth), red (vibrancy), and blue (sadness and loss). The profile view, as well as the large blue water droplet catching a reflection of the sky, add to the uniqueness of this beautiful fine art photo.
