Still Working Those Orchids

[dvetter]

I have continued to work on these Orchids. Some may have seen other shots before, these two were taken under natural light, which I think is bringing better color and texture to the leafs.

Absolutely beautiful Duane. Love the black background. It really brings out the color. The lighting is superb too.

I like them both Duane.
Very simple, very effective

I'd never tire of seeing your orchid shots, love the glossy dark green leaves on these against those exquisite blooms, simply stunning.

Very beautiful Duane. The natural light does have a different effect, doesn't it? I do like the texture it brings out this time. Lovely colors. So nicely composed, and I do love the black background too.

Beautiful, Duane. It looks like there's a pearl in the center of the flowers in the first shot. The lighting is gorgeous. Looks like you light-painted the second shot.

Duane, really like the textures and contrast in the white of the flowers, and the beauty greens in the leaves .. I think the light is your friend ...

Hi Duane - I think orchids are meant to be photographed against a black bg .. it just look so nice ... and so are these images ... excellent
