"Rhododendron 'Unique' "

Flowers are more difficult to photograph than one might assume: although they won't run or fly away, they may have minor blemishes or insect damage, or be in an unsuitable place in relation to the background or available light. Flash to 'lift' them out of the shade, a tripod, and care in selecting angle of view are all recommended. Often there are branches or leaves in the way of the best shot - if it is your own garden a bit of judicious pruning can help, but if it is someone else's garden then please don't start vandalising their plants to improve your shot - find another angle or a different set of flowers. This is a fine specimen of Rhododendron 'Unique' which in real life has beautiful subtle creamy yellow flowers with a hint of pink, alas rather lost in the translation to the computer screen.
