Hi friend @raafiajavaid,
This is known as 'Laceleaf' (Anthurium) and ofcourse, it is a precious flower (costly) (but not rare, in many parts of the world) and stays fresh for days together. ... ha... It is available in many colours too...
This one of course is a rare one, I am sure our @ErmesT & many other friends will agree...
Thanks dear all...
I love Anturium, @TravellerG and yes, this pink one seems to be quite uncommon.
I concentrate myself more on wild flowers. This is a red poppy, captured at Pintura di Bolognola on June 10 - 2018, during a photowalk with Local Guides @AngelaViale and @AntonellaGr
Honestly admire, dear @ErmesT, if permitted, how much time you would have taken to focus & shoot? which camera & Lens? & which shoot mode? (Auto or manual?)
The question is because of the absolute focus with excellent DOF, Congrats! - the details are really vivid.
Sincerely
Dear @ErmesT, Thanks... Hope you will connect my questions to this shot, please...
This is from a series shot of a single flower, around 9 AM lighting with 200 mm Zoom - but, I would have taken more than a minute to fix the frame and focus.
Ultimately, I could capture the single (line) '"WEB' ...
Hope all will enjoy...
The shot is a combination of fortunate elements, @TravellerG
I took the picture at 8:24 in the morning, in a bright, sunny and windy morning. The focus was the most difficult thing, due to the wind. Fortunately the wind stopped for a second, and in auto mode the autofocus is working pretty quickly. The sharp, morning light is perfect for a natural saturation of the colour (no photoshop in this picture)
I don't have a reflex, I use a very flexible bridge camera, a Sony DSC-HX400V with a 24-1200 mm zoom. The zoom is limiting my possibility of shooting photos with low light, but in good light is very good.
The photo was taken in Auto Mode, with 53.mm - 80 ISO, f/5 - 1/500, enough for a decent depth of field.
Here a large view of the place
It was an interesting morning. Here one more shot
40 mm - 80 ISO, f/5 - 1/640 - of course, the photo is resized - This photo was taking one minute, to get a decent focus
Thank you very much, my dear friend @ErmesT for your contribution...
The 2nd picture (the Yellow flower with the bee) is a real Pro shot; Amazing capture, with the Bee in sharp focus - someone who hunted for such a 'Frame' only will know the real pain/ the value! Really, really admire you.
Incidentally, DSC-HX400V is also my camera (now being used by my brother) - this 20 Megapixel camera is wonderful item - honestly, I like the zoom (of course, I do agree the low light performance, at higher zoom levels).
1st picture, I loved the scenery frame!
Once again thank you very much.

(Today, I may be able to post the rare Tree of Bahrain)
