Your 'experiments' are better than the finished products of many people. This is just great! There are the soft colors, the arc of the orchid and, of course, your break-out framing...another wonderful image.
"The contemplation of things as they are, without substitution or imposture, without error or confusion, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention."
Francis Bacon
Marvellous, Kristof...I just love your experiments...that soft subtle color glowing in the flowers looks fantastic against the textured gray...beautiful lay-out too...great work.:Pat.
Just a wonderful picture as always. The flower petals have a frosty look and combined with the red it has a bit of a winter holiday appearance. Great framing of course.
