The colour of the flowers contrast nicely against the sea and pale landscape. I am fascinated by the very pale, small centres of the flowers which really draw attention to them - they are quite unusual.

Nicely seen and captured, very vibrant.

Nice shot Vaez.

…..I am fascinated by the very pale, small centres of the flowers which really draw attention to them - they are quite unusual.

FYI: This is a Bougainvillea flower, here used as houseplant. Those pale, small centres are the real flowers, surrounded by colourfull thin and papery modified leaves, also called bracts.

[Rufus]

The green leaves made me think the bracts were part of the flower, but now I know otherwise. I see the plants require temperatures above 10 degrees centigrade and can be grown on a trellis in a greenhouse here whereas they look to be outdoors in Iran (assuming that is where Vaez took the photograpgh).

Hi Vaez,

Beautiful colours complimented by the background.

I thought that we didn't pass comments on competition entries

Doesn't that just refer to the competition thread? After all, not everyone reads every post to know what the entries are, and often some are entered having first been discussed here and improved as result of comments made.

I actualy try not to look at competitions entries when they are added but consider them all at once when voting starts.

David. I honestly thought that this was a monthly competition. If I'm mistaken, apologies all round, sorry

Vaez, very nice. It's nice to see you posting again.

I see that this thread was started in the area for "Monthly and other competitions" so I can understand why you thought it was a competition entry.

I was the first to participate
And this photo may not have been suitable for the race
I don't know what to do now
But I can only thank all my dear friends who loved me

Vaez - When Donald posts to say that a competition is open for entries, we reply to that post with our entry incuded in our reply for everyone to see. Others do the same in the same thread and so all the entries end up in one thread. In due course Donald closes the competition and invites us to vote.

I hope that helps, but if you need more information then please do ask. I am looking forward to seeing some more of your photographs.

Vaez Not your fault. Please keep posting

Thanks for your good explanation
Next time I'll try to participate in time
Dear friend should i delete the photo now?
And post in the nature section?

[Rufus]

...Dear friend should i delete the photo now?

I would leave everything as it is.

A moderator might be happy to move the thread, otherwise it will stay, with or without the image.

I have moved this thread to a more appropriate location.

Comments should not be posted during an active competition, either the monthly competitions or the mini-comps.

This image was not in one of the regular locations for competitions.
