Yellow Lady's Slipper

Another of the native plants that grows in my garden. I used a stick to keep the other blooms out of the way and shot into the dark part of the garden.

Nikon D200, f9, 1/200, camera on a low stool.

Thanks for looking and critiques appreciated.

May: Beautiful subject and portrait. On my laptop I can see a couple of artifacts on either side of the upper leaf that I would black out and then print it large. >=))>

I'm envious of what you have in your yard. It's just a bit dark on my monitor, but perhaps just fine on yours.

May:
Gorgeous! Love the pose, the color and leaf in the RLC.

The only thing I will do is to clone out the dark spot on the left edge of the vertical leaf.

May - Beautiful - really like the curve in the stem which is apt for the curved drooping petals. Like Bill, I too see a few greenish spots in the background which can easily be filled with black.
