About A brazilian gift for all mothers!!
Flowers of Heliconia (probably a variety of H. psittacorum). The third bract up do down has a fruit emerging, indicating the flower was successfully pollinated by a hummingbird.The reddish pointed structures are called bracts. These tough, leathery structures protect the actual flower, which is yellow and quite delicate. The hummingbird that comes to this flower has a bill precisely shaped to fit into the flower. When the bird feeds, it receives a meal of nectar and in return, the plant's flower is pollinated.

Other information about Heliconia species can be viewed inhttp://www.junglephotos.com/plants/heliconias/hpsittacorum.html

Just ran in Neat Image, since it was a negative (iso 400) scanning. Framed with PSP 8.0 (add border and3-d effects).
All critiques are welcome!!!

Hi Carmem,

great DOF composing and wonderful colors for the mother's day. while you obviously managed to get rid of noise, there are some oversharpening parts especially within the fruits (?).

anyway, nice tribute-

best wishes,

thilo

I haven't been able to succeed with Neat Image yet, I can't get the settings right but you seem to do it very well. I like the strong colours of the plant against the background and the rubbery texture comes across. Your notes educate as always along with the photo.
Been hard to keep up lately Carmem, I always appreciate your comments and your work.
Ian
