Cold
January 22, 2010
My poor Plumeria did not like our freezing weather. This one was a lovely 15 foot specimen that burned back badly last year during a freeze. The one small limb that survived took a hit with the hard freezes this year. Not sure if this one will survive. I was playing around with different filters and blend modes and added a texture. And being interrupted and distracted a few times I don’t know how I ended up with this image!

Great capture – I like the colors in the blurred background. Also like how gnarled and sort of chiseled the branch looks.
I really like the background. You’ve created a really great effect, even if you don’t know how you did it.
I also like the sombreness of this but was surprised to hear that it was a 15″ plant as I was going to comment on it being a great Macro Shot, it has a strong feeling of that for me!
wonderful shot and I am really loving the processing done to this! I’m w/ Ron, I can’t believe the size it used to be…..I hope it comes around next year (I want to see another pic of it in it’s prime)!
WOW..you really have to click on this to see it’s full beauty. Love the hints of blue in the flowers still.
A great close-up. I love the DOF.
What a nice image. I agree that you did a great job even if you are not sure what you did!
