[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Friends, I think this wild flower is known as Morning Glory. I shot it last August while on a trek to a shrine at 8000 feet in the hills of my native place, Chamba, in Himachal Pradesh, India.
The daylight was rather harsh at mid-day, so there are parts of green leaves that are OE. The flower was atop a high bush and I had to use my 70-300mm to take the shot from a distance.
TFL and regards.

This one has a soft feel to it...I have grown these and am amazed at how they react to the sun in a dynamic way. They are quite prolific!!! I only planted them once and they kept on returning...and returning...never had to do a thing again...but mine were not as soft and pretty as you have composed your single one here...odd...very nice Ram.

What a beautiful flower!
The purple stands out starkly against the green surroundings.
Yeah there are some OE areas but they are not much of a problem at all in my eyes.
The composition really is exceptional as is the POV.
Great focusing and DOF.
Well done Ram!
Thanks,
Joe

Fine capture of a Morning Glory flower, Ram!
Even though the strong light nearly makes OE inevitable in places, the flower itself is pretty well exposed, sharp and well composed among the green leaves.
Well done and thanks,
Best wishes, Ivan

hello sir,
beautiful flowers, the purple colour looks beautiful against the green bg, nice pov, inspite of the oe by the strong day light the picture looks beautiful,
tfs & regards

Merhaba Ram,
Your tele-shot is razor-sharp as usual, the gradual blurring of the BG is also nice, but I liked most the sculpture-like veins on the left leaf, we owe that to the harsh sunlight, no?
