Sandy: I've grown much more enamored with orchids lately so you better hope I don't sneak out your way and snatch these. A beautiful bunch and a fine presentation. Really well done.>=))>

Bill, yes, I see you've been bitten by the "orchid bug" -

great to see and get some pointers from your recent high-key orchid images.
It's addicting; be careful!

You can especially see the beauty of this in the larger version. Beautiful presentation and colors.

The color just glows (and strikes me as a hue not often seen here) Your dof is perfect. Beautiful composition

Stunning presentation Sandy! Color, details, and comp are top notch, but your processing really adds that special touch!

Congratulations Sandy on this beautiful image. Hopefully viewers will check the larger photo as the thumb doesn't do the richness, color and composition justice. Very well done!

Very delicate colors in this image. It has a very painterly and artistic look and feel.

Great delicacy of touch, Sandy - a really lovely image ! The fading of the ` heads ' in the flower centres is an inspired choice, and the colours are delightful.
