This is a beautiful orchid, I like the high tone too. Do you live where the orchids flower in May? Lucky you

Beautiful orchid Jano. The only one I have is fake so I'm impressed with your green thumb! If you can't reshoot this, maybe try it with a black background in Photoshop, which I think would look really nice with these colors. :-) CJ

Thanks Brent - it is supposed to be a nice weekend, so I'm looking forward to seeing what I can find/create. jano

This is very nice Jano, but as others have suggested I think it will be even better with a different background if you get the chance to shoot it.

Thanks for the hint Britt - the sun was out for a trickle last nite and i actually stepped outside with orchid in hand... but everything was very wet and cold. Then about a half hour later it stormed. Sun sneaking out now but I'm on the 12th floor looking down. I'm sure I'll see some sun before the challenge is over. :) jano

Janey, you should be seeing some sun today, so hopefully you can put the orchid on the patio and reshoot with an outdoor bg. It's a stunning flower...you've taken great care of it. :)

LOL. It's been raining here, too, and they don't expect a break till at least the weekend. Every so often it lets up a bit, and I venture outside with my camera, at which point it begins pouring again. I'm sure the plants love it, but I'd like to see the sun for a change.

It does to me too MaryAnne - because it has rained here since the challenge started. :( jano

It's a very nice shot, Jano, but to my mind it looks too indoorsy for this Challenge topic.

The Missus just looked over me shoulder as I was having another look at this & she loves the shot:-)

Thanks for the comment Rod. I have another perspective that I took that looked interesting and am going to work on that - so this may be replaced. jano

Very nice shot of the flower but the light background spoils it for me.
