This plant, a red Anthurium, has been sitting outside on the deck providing a nice splash of red. This is another image in a series I have periodically worked on, all featuring plants against a stark white background, somewhat like classic botanical illustrations. And of course, Red Rule applies. - JW

Tech Details:
Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 D lense, ISO100, Auto WB, Aperture priority mode, f/7.1, ¼ sec. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source file: scale image to 9000x6000, adjust exposure to 1 stop over (brighter than) as-shot, increase contrast and Chromaticity in L-A-B mode, slightly increase vibrance, enable shadows-highlights and boost shadows slightly, sharpen, save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: duplicate the image onto two layers, top layer for mask creation bottom layer for image adjustment, in the top layer use the threshold tool to create a mask by adjusting the cut-of point so the white background is completely blown out leaving a black image of the plant on a white background and then use a paintbrush to paint out any anomalies in the black/plant areas, invert the colours of the top layer so you wind up with a white plant on a black background, add a black/transparent layer mask to the bottom layer and then copy the black and white plant image to the mask, add a new all-white layer below the masked layer to assure a clean white background devoid of any of the imperfections in the original image’s ‘white’ background, then on the masked layer’s image section adjust the tone curve to get a good representation of the plant, slightly increase the plant’s overall saturation, flatten the image, sharpen, save, scale image to 6000x4000, sharpen slightly, add fine black-and-white frame, add bar and text on left, save, scale image to 1800 wide for posting, sharpen slightly, save.

Another iris that recently bloomed in my garden. Both my Nikon and iPhone can't really capture the color of the flower. It's a beautiful ox blood red.
The Hummingbird
Legends say that hummingbirds float
free of time, carrying our hopes for
love, joy, and celebration.
Hummingbirds open our eyes to the
wonder of the world and inspire us to
open our hearts to loved ones and friends.
Like a hummingbird, we
aspire to hover and to savor each
moment as it passes, embrace all that
life has to offer,and to celebrate the
joy of everyday. The hummingbird's
delicate grace reminds us that life is
rich, beauty is everywhere, every
personal connection has meaning and
that love and laughter are life's most
sweetest creations. ~♥~
Red Cross the International Movement of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, an international humanitarian organization that provides relief to victims of war or natural disaster. The Red Cross was set up in 1864 at the instigation of the Swiss philanthropist Henri Dunant (1828–1910) according to the Geneva Convention, and its headquarters are in Geneva.
(above info is nothing to do with the red dragonfly. However the first look of this picture remind me of the RED CROSS.)
