18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Black and White Plumeria Flower

This photo shows a beautiful Plumeria flower, known here in Brazil as Mango Jasmine, and one of my favourite flowers. I tried to capture all the beauty of this flower, then I remembered one of Robert Mapplethorpe's photo of a black and white daisy, and it gave me inspiration.
