I'm eagerly anticipating the opening of this last bud on my orchid plant. Should happen any day now. All comments welcome. >=))>

It's a nice shot of the bud, but I keep wanting to find details in the flowers in the background. Guess I'm prejudiced against buds.

Wonderful control of the whites, Bill, and a real in-your face presentation of the bud ! I like the comp, though am just wondering whether a bit more room at the bottom would have been nice ? Not sure about that - anyway the bud is so beautifully caught it feels as if it's about to open any time !
