Default Framed Orchids

Hi All, I've seen some of the fantastic framing on some of your photos and decided to give it a try. Heres what I came up with on some orchids I shot yesterday. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating the photos.

Two wonderfully presented orchids. Your frames have worked so well. The captures are oh the highest order and the colours are so vibrant. This is excellent work buddy. No mountains or lakes, but so what, you do a great job with any subject.

Jake.

Thanks AO, I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. I agree, I think the black BG really halps the image.

Thank you so much for the kind words Jake. I really appreciate your comments. I spent maybe 5- 10 minutes on each one in Post. I'm very pleased you liked them so much.

Hi Jack, Thanks very much for the compliment, I thought the frames would add a little something special to the images.

Beautifully done. The frames accentuate the orchids very nicely.
