Shapes made of colors

I met this beautiful Phalaenopsis with very delicate colors and I tried to take them only. Have I succeeded?

In the first hour in the morning, at the greenhouse.

D700, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/5 and ISO 200 - Polarizer filter

An unusual photo for me. What do you think about? Thanks.

Nice perspective! This certainly has the delicate colors! I think it is quite lovely! I had to make sure my laptop screen was at the right angle though to fully appreciate it!

Hi Gigi

Fabulous image to start the new year. :jump:

Yes this is unusual for you; have you lost your F22?

Have you succeeded? Admirably, love the pastel color :toast:

Gigi - Just superb. Right amount in focus to hold my interest and what terrific colors !!. The slightly angle composition makes the frame a bit more dynamic :toast:

Executed with a wonderfully soft touch, Gigi - just enough in sharp focus, with the lovely rays of bg colour giving definite shape to the image. Most creative and impressive !!

Works for me as well, Gigi. I really like the abstract nature of this created by the comp and shallow dof. Well done.
