Bougainvillea and hibiscus in Mexico

I loved seeing the bright flowers in Mexico, where tropical flowers bloom year-round, even in December. The following photos are of my original shot followed by the same photo with "Poster Edges" by PhotoShop.

Pat I love the effect in editing your images! I am just beginning to learn my way around PS..it sure passes the time on a grey winter day!
My daughter is vacationing in Cabo San Lucas this week! I'm sure she'll see these Bougainvilleas! I find they resemble paper! Enjoy the week!
