Female Nectar Bird on a Coral tree: The tree original from South America, which usually found along riversides and in swampy grounds. It prefers sheltered enviroments with adequate sunlight, not suitable for planting at exposed areas. It possesses prickly and trifliate leaves. Thed leaflets are broadly lanceolate in shape, with red midribs. It flowers in March, before the new leaves expand. The flowers are crimson in colour, which bome at the ends of the branches as a tightly clustered spearhead. The red ivory shaped flowers growing on a bare leafless tree. Tai Po Kau Reserve a diffent "world" in Hong Kong.
I have now cropped the picture but cant upload it :(. But some times I find it's more natural to show the branch. When you are in the forest, you cannot move the branch away, so why not show it as a part. Adobe Photoshop can do many things, but what about you use the film, then it's not possible. For me I will like to present the pictures as natural as possible with the focus on the object. We have many of these trees in Hong Kong, New Territories
I like the soft tones in this one, but I would crop the bottom to remove that bright distracting branch in the lower right. I'm glad you included a bit of information about the coral tree, my first thought was Hong Kong? I'm sure I've seen this flower on a visit to Texas. Seeing as how the plant is from S. American, yes, I'm sure now that I have.
