Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Ah the heart of the matter- beautiful details Thad. The color really pops off the screen.

"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
The Orchid does have a heart and you have shown it Thad. No wonder it makes the ladies so happy.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
It's very beautiful with the backlighting. It is gorgeous to begin with and the lighting really added.

Lovely detail and lighting.
It is a beautiful orchid - they are not my favourite flower but I really love this one. (think I must have been bitten by one as a child lol)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
So, so lovely...well focused and well detailed
Bring to mind this poem
The Orchid Flower
by Sam Hamill
Just as I wonder
whether it's going to die,
the orchid blossoms
and I can't explain why it
moves my heart, why such pleasure
comes from one small bud
on a long spindly stem, one
blood red gold flower
opening at mid-summer,
tiny, perfect in its hour.
Even to a white-
haired craggy poet, it's
purely erotic,
pistil and stamen, pollen,
dew of the world, a spoonful
of earth, and water.
Erotic because there's death
at the heart of birth,
drama in those old sunrise
prisms in wet cedar boughs,
deepest mystery
in washing evening dishes
or teasing my wife,
who grows, yes, more beautiful
because one of us will die.

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. — Frank A. Clark
Nice color and sharp as a pin.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Nice rich color and detail, the back lighting really makes an image like this pop.
Thanks,
Joe.
