Support Very beautiful combo. Hibiscus? And what's that "stick bug" to the left? cart-Talk 07:49, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes W.carter; it is Pendulous Sleeping Hibiscus (Malvaviscus penduliflorus). I added that category. Only now I noticed that stick insect! J e e 09:51, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! I wasn't demanding that the plant (or the stick thing) must be categorized, just curious as usual. Thanks anyway. cart-Talk 10:02, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment From a compositional point of view of view, I would rotate the picture slightly clockwise such that the top of the wings ended the same place vertically to improve symmetry. The fact that it is almost aligned makes the composition a bit unbalanced in my opinion. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:25, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Slaunger, I understand. As I rarely photograph landscapes, I didn't think about the need for straightening so far. Will think about in future processing. (As my DxO had expired, I tried in Gimp. Please check whether it is good enough to overwrite the original.) J e e 03:03, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jkadavoor Yes it was such a slight rotation I had in mind. Only problem is that somehow the embedded color profile was lost in the process. This appears to be a recurrent problem for users using Gimp. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:40, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
