A Sand fower in Cyprus

Dear Friends, I would like to dedicate this capture of this beautifull flower to one of my beloved and heartfelt friends in TN, Howard Shirley (gerbilratz) who is an expert on the photographing the plants. This is also my second posting on the flowers :-) I hope you can like this!
Greetings from Cyprus Howard, I wish you all the best my friend!


I found so many same kind of this flower in the coastal sand of Alagadi Turtle Beach conservation area near the Kyrenia. But I have not got enough information on the identifying of a plant! May be Howard or some other friends who expert on this scientific field can write its ID. I would be indebted...

Bayram

Nefis bir çiçek ve nefis bir görüntüleme hocam.
Elinize sağlık.
Mehmet

Bayram Hocam selamlar. Anladığım kadarı ile Kıbrıs'ta ne kadar güzellik gördüyseniz çektiniz.
Hakikaten çok güzel bir çiçek ve siz de her zmanki gibi mükemmel bir makro almışsınız.
Elinize sağlık.
Deniz

Bayram Hocam harika bir makro! Gözümle görmesem böyle bir güzelliğin sahilde kum tepeleri arasında yetişebileceğine inanmazdım. Sanırım Kıbrıs'a endemic bir tür.
Elinize sağlık.
Bahadır

Kıvbrıs'a dair nefis bir çiçek hocam. Elinize sağlık.

Selam Hocam,
Çok güzel bir makro çekim olmuş. Çiçek de çok güzel, ne olduğunu merak ettim doğrusu. Paylaşım için teşekkürler.

Hi Bayram,

A swallow yesterday and this beautiful flower today - you are really branching out. I must admit I miss your snakes! This is a lovely pink sandflower with very unusual looking petals. Looks beautiful against the green leaves. I hope you don't mind but I did a workshop because I was so curious to see how it would look cropped. Just gives it a different look.

Jane

hi Bayram,

I personally prefer to crop the left half flower, further good sharp with beautiful colors as usual.

Edit, i see Jane came also on the idee!

regards Gert

Hi I am very pushed for time late home so just a note to say a good picture for now,
Well done TFS.
Nick..

WoW Bayram, amazing flower, I am unsure as to what it is. I have looked at Agapanthus, Echinops, and Aliums, but can not find anything to ID. I shall look again asap.

hoca, sen aşklarına arada bir ara ver. baksana botanik işleri de en az onlar kadar iyi gidiyor. harika bir makro olmuş. renkler çok güzel. eline sağlık. Muğladan selamlar.

Hi Bayram

Excellent shot - you have handled the exposure expertly to produce a shot which conveys the textures superbly.

James

Hi Bayram,
A nice capture of this sand flowers which resembles a lot to our touchmenot flowers here in India. Only difference are the leaves. Excellent composition and details. A nice change from your regular reptile pictures. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Bayram,

no time, just marking
Mariki

Hi Bayram,

That's a beautiful image, really nice composition, and it's very sharp. The flower is very interesting-looking, and I'm not familiar with it, the flower structure is different than anything I know of. I'd be interested to know what it is.

Thanks,
John

Hello Bayram,
Well dedicated shot. I am not sure why you did not crop the half flower picture on the left side. But the one on the subject is perfect. Crisp and clear.Ganesh

Hello Bayram
I would have no idea as to what the flower is but I do know that you have taken it very well..Perhaps it is a bit over exposed in the centre bloom..Maybe the flash fired?
Very good work Sir and my best regards
Paul

Ciao Bayram, amico mio!
In queste settimane sono poco presente su TN.
Complimenti per questo splendido fiore.
A presto (spero),
Marcello

Hi Bayram,
Wonderful shot of this flower and I like its form. Very impressive sharpness and colours with perfect lighting. The top POV works well here in giving a fine perspective. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Bayram, this is a good shot, seen with good light and colour. Your depth of field is shallow putting the top of the flower in sharp focus, while muting down the base and sand somewhat. I had a look at Jane's workshop, and I think it was a good one for you, displacing the main flower off centre.

Thanks, John

Thank you very much for your kind critique on my recent picture of a butterfly, Mr. Gocmen.
Since it is our first interaction on this site, I had had the good opportunity of looking at your prolific portfolio and also of glancing at your impressive profile.
I see you are a person of high erudition in the field of life sciences and thereby an asset for the TN community.
Having said that, I now turn to your current image of pink wild flowers.
These flowers are exotic and beautiful to look at.
Since I am a teacher of English language and literature, I admire nature mainly in terms of its beauties in shape, form and colour. I would, therefore, be of least help in identifying any flora or even fauna unless it is something familiar or learnt about here on TN through interaction with other members.
Thanks for sharing this nice image and warm regards.
Ram

Merhaba Bayram Bey,
