This time last year a good friend and I took a walk in the country park near my place (and if you've ever lived in Hong Kong you would know that the country parks here are tame and completely safe affairs with paved, oh yes paved, trails and greenery trimmed to within an inch of their lives) trawling for good photo ops that would really test the capabilities of her newly acquired Nikon DSLR.
She downloaded the images a few months ago and having glanced at them quickly - being really busy at the time - I thought no more of the little photography outing.
But just now I reviewed old pix as I was cleaning up my PC and found this beautifully sharp, crisp beauty (the photo, not the subject).
The lively reds of the bougainvilleas make a wonderful contrast to the dark curls of the ahem, subject. I like that the subject is slightly off-centre and is as detailed and sharp as the bunch of blooms, although I suppose another approach would've been to put the face in focus and blur the rest.
