crimson on yellow
IMG_7089

And two more Orichids , this one is presented in a warm country feel
IMG_7084

and the cherry on top ! this one Electric velvet painting feel
IMG_7087


flexing my post production , experimenting with colors and ways of presenting, trying not to do too much with such beautiful flowers was a test of my self control .. I said the hell with it on the last one and just went nuts !

I hope the colors brightened your day/night a little and as always thanks for taking a look !

Vin

Vin you're full of surprises, as I scrolled down they just kept getting better. Fantastic set of shots, I like the last one, but keep going back to the third one as it just pull me in. Great work.

Great Set Vin! I like the 3rd one best, but all are very well presented, I like what you did in the last on as well.

For starters, I love the eight little suns in the rays of the orchid. That is just too cool! The Dalias remind me of pretty girls with every hair in place and makeup just right. Regarding your electric velvet "painting". One word: Zowie! Very nicely done, Vin. (Your sense of fun shines through!)
