I couldn't find an angle to shoot these Oleander blossoms where their leaves weren't partially hiding their faces. That really bothers me, but I like the color and the background. So I'll call it modesty, because they won't uncover themselves.

Lovely colours in the greens and reds, the bokeh is great

I have the exact same problem It's like the blooms are all tight and clustered and the leaves are so pointy. I think it's pretty with the hazy blue behind them. :~)

Lovely reds. I find red one of the more difficult colours to capture satifactorily, especially on flowers. Nicely done!

I like the way the low angle put the palm in the BG. It adds a lot to what would be an otherwise bland sky with the nice curve that frames the top of the flowers. The full sunlight shining thru the blooms brings out a lot of detail there too. You did a nice job of getting the flowers to look good and also including their environment.

Love the light coming through the flowers and the colors. And the interesting bokeh.

Totally understand the leaf issue; dang plants should arrange themselves for our benefit (and move to follow the light while they're at it). I've been known to remove leaves (if it's something I planted) or try to rearrange them (if it's wild and I'm pretty sure it's not poisonous), but those leaves look hard to move and make them look natural. They're really not bad the way they are.
