Just some lovely white orchids found in a Christmas display at The Chicago Botanic Garden. The lighting was fairly dark in the dispay hall but the orchids were catching some light from the skylights above and to the side. All comments and critiques appreciated.

Kathy - "Just some... orchids..." You captured them beautifully. (White is a devilish color to capture, especially in sunlight.) The strong contrast of lighting was used masterfully for this photo. Very, very nice! Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

The light play showing through their lovely petals is excellent.

The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: the bad artist seems to copy a great deal; the good one really does. ~William Blake
