Perfectly captured Raj with magnificent color and clarity on the orchids and the soft and subtle background brings them out exceptionally. Very well done. Thanks.
After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.
They almost look like they were "worked". The texture is so different from anything I've seen on a flower before...you did an excellent job of composing this shot and they are all seen so well. I couldn't decide whether they belonged in my flower folder or my spring and summer folder..oh, decisions ..decisions :)
And this said without the benefit of having been there ... so, you might have taken what I am about to suggest into consideration in composing your shot ...
The bloom/flower that is at the very top, but slightly cropped out the frame was what made me think about this ...
Perhaps, if you had been able to include it as well, it might elevate your image here just that much more. And as always ... just a thought, a suggestion.
I would wholeheartedly agree that your DOF seems to be spot on, nice work on that aspect and this is a lovely shot.
Well done.
!! Warning ... Joke Ahead !!
Here Raj, I think you dropped this ... *hands Raj a clothes peg* ;o)
