Me too, & that bottom flower still looks awesome. I just love looking at it.

I like this much better, Ann. Now the focus is on that lovely backlighted flower. The OOF background works well, too.

Nice lighting! I'm sure this looks awesome in color, great this way too! I had to do a google to make sure that title wasn't something nasty... I obviously don't know orchids. - Tom

Beautiful! I agree with the cropping suggestion to bring focus to the bottom flower. jano

I agree with Mary Ann with the crop. The bottom flower looks just awesome.

Wonderful backlighting on the front flower, Ann. I think, however, that the image would benefit from some cropping, maybe about one-third the way down the second flower. The background seems to draw the eye away from the lovely blossom in the foreground.
