[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Feeling a lot better today. Winter does frighten me but this is the best times for photography in India. Hence I tend to swim against the tide and the result sometimes become so ominous. Anyway, wanting to feel a little upbeat I present this flower today. However I do not know its name unfortunately but I am sure my member-friends can recognise it for me. Would definitely make me feel even better.

Shot taken hand-held in the dying rays of the sun. I love this flower particularly because it does attract a lot of butterflies and a variety of other flying insects. In the process it presents many photographic opportunities.

Hello Sumon,
Excellent details in this delicate flower!
I like the point of view and the diagonal composition, and the texture in the petals are very attractive...
The subject stands out well on the blurrfy back, fine natural colours!

Very good to see you and your impressive work back again this American holiday of Thanksgiving. And so you are a vegetarian so instead of a turkey, you have brought us a floral arrangement, still living...very good man with the hat. You are one of the acknowledged best in your field.

Hi Sumon.
I like your wonderful picture which reflects this amazing flower perfectly. I like terrific details and sharpness of the main objects, lovely blurriness of the great BG, outstanding composition and framing. Bravo, my friend. Excellent job.
Alexei.

Well done, Sumon! A majestic purple to dominate the frame and detail right down to the stamens and pistils. Nice texure, good use of the lighting of the hour, respectable depth of field. I like the relatively tight cropping and the angle and positioning of the flower within the frame. Both add to the overall quality of the composition.

Hello Sumon

A beautiful exotic looking flower,just what I need to see on a day like today,the weather here was horrible.
The focus is sharp with wonderful sharpness.
The vertical composition is well thought out.
The POV and DOF are excellent.
Nicely done.

Sumon, whatever this flower, it is a real beauty. I like its purple colour.
This is yet another great capture in your flora series. The image is sharp and crisp.
TFS and regards.
BTW, are you not keeping well? Take care.
Ram

Se ha conseguido lo que yo creo que es más
importante en este tipo de tomas: la profundidad. La textura de los pétalos es soberbia y los colores atractivos. Elegantes y bien captados tanto los estambres como el pistilo. Buen encuadre. Hasta pronto Sumon.

Hello Sumon,
I hope you are well on the way to recovery now.
Fine capture of this flower with lovely colours, sharpness and composition.
I tried to reach an ID by applying some logic. Firstly, as you say this is attractive to insects it must produce nectar. Secondly the flower is trumpet shaped: this means that butterflies, hawkmoths or hummingbirds could benefit from this flower.
Since hummingbirds are confined to the Americas I looked up american flowers and came to the conclusion that this can be some species of Cantua. This could be a garden escape in India. On the other hand it could be a species native to tropical Asia.
Well it was a try...
Get well soon,
Ivan
