I've spent the weekend working with my new camera(Canon G12) and am very pleased thus far with the results. With my old dog of a Panasonic I was happy with about 5-10% of the shots, now I'm running 85-90% with the Canon. The center of these orchids fascinated me as they looked painted on - I assure you they are very real and very unusually beautiful. All comments and critiques appreciated.

You are right, the colors seem to have a fluid look as the colors flow out from the center, very nice!

You done a good job mixing your colours together in painting them orchids. A great closeup on the pretty blooms, Kathy. Beautiful colours and a nice DoF. Great work with your new canon.

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
