Fran Drescher? No, It's Frangipani by

Shot beside the swimming pool of The Westin in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 244 views on 6 May 2011.

It wasn’t just the buttery tones and the graceful shape of the blooms that caught my eye, it was also the contrast against the large green leaves.

I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/125, ISO 800, focal length 125mm.

  • Thank you, Mike. It amazes me how long frangipani blooms actually last in hot, humid weather.

    Oh how I do love Frangipani’s, lovely capture, Jenny

  • Thanks so much, Jenny. These colours were slightly different from the cream-and-white variety that seems more common.
