Like the comp, dof and subject. Everything works well together especially with the high key approach. :toast:

Lovely orchids, Lorna. F/40 seems a touch much, and may have given you some softness. Have you considered blending?

I really like the pov and how you've emphasized the two lips.

F40 must be a new record for NPN, Lorna :smile: but it achieved what you wanted to. Lovely high key look for this Orchid. Beautiful colors and an unusual but nice composition.

Interesting photo Lorna. I do like the high key look but I can't quite make up my mind with the open space on the left side of the image. I'm a lefty so maybe if you would have photographed it just the oppisite I could relate more with it. :wink:
Nice job,
John Kerr

Love the way the flowers seem to fly in from the frame edge, Lorna ! Perfect high key image for me, beautifully coloured.

Very nice image. I actually like this more rotated 90' cw and a little cropped off the top but it's excellent as presented. Phil may have a point regarding f40 but it's still decently sharp. :toast:
