Hibiscus 'Midnight Marvel'

Marvelous banner, Casey!
Love the colors, contrast, details.

Outstanding banner Casey. Reds and crimson shades don't work well for me. You have mastered this beautiful bloom. Nice work!

You've captured a very good angle showing the full color and deep interior of this marvelous bloom. Love it.

Beautiful banner Casey. Love that pop of red color. For some reason, I can't award you acorns above. I'll try later.

for a beautifully bright red banner, Casey!

Love the banner Casey

Perfect banner Casey!

I must admit it took me a while to decide I was looking at plant parts and not a bug. Forgive me I am getting more and more blind.

This was a tricky subject to photograph! Reds don't always work for me - both in photographs and the garden. This year I planted peach, coral, chartreuse, dark red-violet and a few other red flowers and it worked. (I'll try and see if I can capture it in a photograph, but they're scattered down the bed so it may be tricky.)

Thank you Fleur for the hibiscus emojis!!! Love it.

Thank you CDsSister for the laugh! I totally see that now.

re: Reds......difficult for me, too. It may be a the camera, i.e. some do better than
others.

I use a Panasonic FZ150, and I try shooting a little under exposed.

But yours is perfect.
Good job!

Thank you Cal!!

I've heard that before too. I've always been a Nikon girl, worked for a photographer who preferred Cannon. She mentioned there were differences in how the two handle reds. But I'm going to keep working on it!
