Personally, I wanted to be a professional photographer. I had seen how my close friend did his masterpieces. It needs to invest in high-resolution cameras for this passion and interest. How do I enhance my photography skill? It is by using my mobile phone's camera.
I took this photo yesterday. While strolling to the public market, I am finding something interesting. I captured the details of this floral 'lantana camara.'
Are you good at photography?
Are you into taking photos when being outside your comfort zone?

That is absolutely beautiful! You definitely have a God given gift for photography.
I am blessed to be a photographer, I take photos of people mostly but I love the Lord's creation too! =)
When I first started I was super shy, but God helped me through each session.

@Shavkat The great thing about photography is beauty is seen to everyone differently. We all have our own perception of beauty. As long as I have been a blessing to my clients and they are happy with their photos, that's most important to me! =)

@JudyEv VERY TRUE! If only more people understood this! I don't know how often I've read and/or heard people claim that if they had a better camera, they'd be able to shoot better photos.
Not so! Their photos would be as ugly as they are with simple cameras if they don't know the basics of how to compose a photo.

That's a good shot, I am also a frustrated photographer. I do have a DLSR camera, but in one of the classes that I attended in the past, a skilled photographer does not need top of the line camera. Whatever kind of camera you have, you will be able to capture and create your own masterpiece with creativity and thinking outside of the box.

It is frustrating sometimes. Honestly, I also wanted to have formal photography training. It is a part of self-learning and does some research on the Internet about it. At some point, I also agree that we can do our own creativeness. Thank you for liking it.

@Raine38 This is a wise comment and exactly what I've been saying all along. I've mentioned a post that says it all a bit further up. As this is a long comment thread, I'm going to post the link again.

You took that photo very well. Yes, I have always liked to take pictures since I was a child.

You do not enhance your photography skill if you invest in expensive cameras!!! If you don't have 'the eye', no camera will help you. If you have 'the eye', you can make good photos also with relatively cheap cameras. I've seem lots of bad photos made with expensive cameras.
Why do you show so much vague greenery in the upper part of the photo? Concentrate on the blossoms and leave out superfluous things.
There are only some simple rules to follow if you want to take good photos. Sadly, not many people know them. More sadly, not many people are critical with themselves and show everything they've photographed assuming that it is wonderful.

@Shavkat Selfies are only funny for the person who is taking them. For the rest of humankind they're completely superfluous.
Once I read that someone had fallen off a steep cliff while taking a selfie at the edge. The German term Schadenfreude came to my mind which for some reason has made its way into the English vocabulary.

I am not very good at photography at all as you could easily tell from all the photos I post on here.
That's a good picture you took
