10-10-04 winter gardens

Went for a walk today along the old railway line behind our flat. We used the new bridge, but I was
so worried about running out of batteries, that I didn't get any decent shots of it. Plenty of time
to get those photo's now the bridge is finally open though!

We (my Mum, Dad, Catherine and I), walked around the winter gardens, and then back to the flat
via the local pub! It was in the tropical rainforest area I took this photo of one of the
many types of Orchid.

I thought about adding the original at the time, but didn't get round to it, so just for Jude, here it is!

There's more information about the winter gardens here.

Thanks for adding the colour version, Dominic. :o)
I like the monochrome - a lot! But frankly - the colour does it for me! It's beautiful and gets my vote!

Beautiful image, Dominic! I like the monochrome, but wonder what the original colour version was like,too? This is a lovely comp!

Nice shot - and agreed on the toning - it works well.

Yep, what they said about the toning.

the monochrome you've used here is very nice.. these buds have depth and detail to them.. nicely done

indeed, nice choice on the tone!

Very nice choice of color composition. It serves the subject well. I've taken shots of this type of orchid before, and there's so little detail in it, they almost look like solid white. Nice shot.
