WAKE UP AND SMELL THE BOUGANVILLA !!!

A visit to Ibiza is never mundane. I took this shot in the tranquil nature-Spa of Atzaro, where orange tree meets both Buddha and house music. I particularly like the vibrant lilac canopy of bouganvilla, the intense green of the reeds, and the intersecting diagonal path. Also there is a sense of humorously playing with proportions here; the flowers, their stems, their reach and projection of the branches, are all seriously outsized relative to the girl. It’s like a ‘glam-chic’ version of Alice Through the (Mediterranean) Looking Glass. If nothing else, it just makes me smile 🙂

Shot on a Canon EOS 5D mk3, 24-105mm lens at 55mm, f 5.6, ISO 100, 1/250 sec.
