3D orchid

At home

This orchid sits proudly on my kitchen table and from every angle, brightens the room.
I wanted to try and capture the 3D quality of it so shot with a small aperture on
the macro lens and flash with softbox to light the flower and darken the room behind.
I am not sure whether I have achieved the effect I wanted or not, your thoughts?

Perfect Tricia! Comes right on the screen! Have tried to smell them several times!

It certainly jumped out for me. The colour and depth are great! I'm quite jealous of your orchid growing ability too.
