Flowers and other Flora

Hi Keith.
Very nice shot, great colours and composition.
I spotted this on your Flickr page yesterday along with the other versions, got me wondering why, part of a lesson or experiment? I couldn't pick a winner from the versions, all subtly different, all good!

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks :) Each version had a varying degree of vignetting applied- from none to moderate. I couldn't decide which I'd like after a day or two, so put up the whole spread. LOL

There are cannonball trees very close to my place of work. I think that the flowers are pretty and fragrant. Here are some pictures. I could not get the whole tree as all the trees are really tall. They are mote than 20 meters (60+ feet) tall and there is no place to zoom out with my feet :)

Here are some pictures. You can look up this link for more details on the tree:

The cannonball fruit - now you know why the tree has this common name

Apparently the fruit is not edible nor good for carpentry. I kind of figured the first part on looking at it :P
