Hi Sandy,

I like what you did here with the dark panels along the bottom edge. Laelia anceps also makes a nice subject for photography especially when placed on a black background.........................Jim

Very creative, very striking, Sandy ! The lighting and the reflections are a visual treat - and the concept is so strong and so well suited to these flowers. Most excellent !!
