Despite the weather today we braved on with the planned 2x2. A good time was had by all and I dont think anyone would complain about having lunch at Moo.
Here are a few images of Frangipanni's that seemed to stalk me through the day. Comments and critique is most welcome.
The frangipanni that started it off
another frangipanni
the 2nd frangipanni has followed me!

Cameron,
I really like the second of these.
The subtlety and softness of the frangipanni presents a wonderful contrast against the rough texture of the sand.

#2 for me as well cameron
I think #1 is better with a crop just below the flower--about 20mm to remove distraction from below
#3 not sure of what you wanted/expected from this seemingly "plastic" backround
But #2 really works--well done
Jim

I always thought you were a flower man Cameron
- top stuff on the Frangipanni's, the second one is very nice, a balanced image with good textures and tones

The second one is very nice indeed! Love your composition and textures.
Only thing I could suggest would be to clone out the lower left distraction and sharpen to bring out the texture.
You have used the soft light well.

Cameron 1 out of 3 isn't bad
#2 is just sublime

The second one! However, can you fix the lower
left corner? I find it distracting because it is
different to the others and it is a break on the
sand pattern. I like the colours and the patterns
on the sand.

Thanks for the comments, I have to admit that there is more that I can do with #1, but here is a revised version of #2 (which is my fav)

Noice work Cameron.
As it looks a little washed out on my uncalibrated screen, I would suggest that you take it to zimprints and get the guy to show it you on his calibrated screen. This way, you could make further contrast adjustments and sharpening (which I believe is needed).

Love the frangipanni shots ... although I must agree #2 is my fav.
