Macro Monday - Frangipani Flowers

This picture was taken on Magnetic Island – which for those of you not completely familiar with the geography of Australia, it’s about ¾ of the way up the east coast, in Queensland.
The light that day was strangely flat, with spots and specks of rain. I actually think that this made photographing the white flower easier. Frangipani flowers on the bare branches of the tree – it makes a strange sight.





You can find more macro shots here at Macro Monday.



Enjoy the close ups!

  9. Exquisite! So clean and pure. I love the two stages in the same picture, one flower half open and one fully open.

  10. I think you are right, sunshine should not have been good for this one. Flowers like that is a challenge to get right but this loosk good.
