The Anonymous Flower Photo

Photographer’s Note

I have no idea what is the name of this flower, but a lot of people have it in their yards or balconies. I think I have one of this at my office.
This one has been photographed on a balcony and it seemed OK, although it was December.
I liked its special leaves even more than its red small flowers. But the truth is that what I liked best were its shadows on that white wall.

Not sure of the name of the flower but it looks pretty. Flowers usually make good subjects and this one is no exception. Good light and sharpness to show us this interesting and beautiful plant. Nice work Andreea and Happy New Year 2007 :-)

Hi Andreea. The single bloom is in the prefect position and acts as a foil to the fresh green leaves. As you pointed out, the main attraction is the shadows on the wall.

Hi Andrea,
wonderful picture. Yes, the shadows are really magical... and sorry, but also I don't know it's name ;))
Happy new year to you and your family,
Tomi
