 We were on holidays in Fiji and the frangipani were heavenly. Having had some success with another flower entry recently, I thought I would use this one for the challenge. I like the striking colours and the focus point. The blues in the bg are nice too.

Basically, crop, level, USM, Noise Ninja, some colour adjustments through Colour Balance and Saturation (I didn't want an oversaturated image), resize and some further adjustments for sharpness and noise, 24px border and save for web...nice and simple

The only thing that bothers me is the black spec of dust, but in basic, there's not much one can do

A 6.4 would be nice

POST: Well, once again, below expectations...never mind...I won't lose sleep over it

I love this, but I am biased, as not only do I like what photos you take, but also love flowers, and fragipanis.....
So soft, and do delicate, and I can almost smell the perfume.....

Ohmy, Enzo! This is SO pretty! Can't you see this in a beautiful frame hanging on a big white wall somewhere! Wow!

I guess they must have thought it a bit of a stretch for the challenge ??? Because in every other way, I'd say it's at least a high 6 score!

WOW! Now that's one tight focus there!!! Thanks for putting this together, I love it. Great colors also. After the challenge you'll have to get rid of that one little black speck in there and sell a few prints of this. Well done.
