A shot of pink bougainvillea.

bougainvillaea
Taken at the Botanic Gardens with Kodak High Definition colour film with my Nikon FM2 at f1.4, I shot these on whim, when I decided to take my FM2 out for a little road trip. Walking to my school through the Botanic Gardens, I saw a section of it that had a tremendous growth of bougainvillaea, like tower after tower of bougainvillaea, some pink, some orange, some red. It was such a wonderful sight, to see all that bougainvillaea swaying in the wind, it was just too bad that I only had a 50mm lens with me, so I could only do semi-close-ups. I like how there's motion blur on the branches in the background as well as a blur caused by the depth of field.
