The Plumeria

[eyerkish]

I'm not much of a floral photographer but I decided to give it another try. My Mother-in-law has a Plumeria tree in her yard that is absolutely gorgeous. I processed this shot in Lightroom and added a vignette with a small amount of grain. I then added a slight texture in Photoshop. Any cc is welcome. Thanks for taking a look.

Eddie, what a beautiful shot of a beautiful bloom! I have seen these around but did not know what they were called. Your composition is perfect. I really like this shot!!

Hi Eddie,
Perhaps you should try some more floral shots.... this is beautiful. We always call them Frangipanis here, with their bontanical name being Plumeria. This is one of my favourite flowers with its "tropical' look. I also love the white and yellow one which is a little more common here.
Eddie, why did you add grain and texture.... just wondering? but do quite like it.

Thank you so much, Marianne. I'm glad you liked it. I can't wait for the tree to be in full bloom.

That is a huge compliment, coming from you, Kaye. Thank you very much. The grain and the texture were experiments after finding some additional presets in Photoshop that were installed with the program but not immediately visible in the texturizer. The original picture looked good but I found that I preferred the additional edits. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
