I always liked the shape and textures of orchids but colour always seemed to overwhelm. I thinks this does alright. I shot in low light using a 50mm at f1.8 for small DOF, at 1/125 sec. using bounce flash for fill.
i love this with out color. it really emphasizes all the shapes and textures. great composition, and amazing amount of detail. love it, great work! ~abby
Well, I have to respectfully disagree with you on this one. I love the color of orchids and while I agree that their details are one of the other aspects of their beauty, I don't find the color a distraction. Technically speaking, you've done a very good job. Everything is crisp and clear.
