The striking color and markings on this orchid was a draw for my eye but the very complicated interior really drew attention. All comments and critiques appreciated. (Canon G12 F3.6, focal 12MM. ISO 250)

Okay, what did you attempt to clone out of existence this time? It's important to smooth things over when you're done so the colours blend together. A beautiful looking bloom with great colours and details

It kinda resembles a butterfly, doesn't it? Beautiful work, Kathy.

It is very aptly named.
A very close up look at this beautiful pattern of nature.
Nice work Kathy.

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
