Beautiful colors and wonderful definition in the whites. It looks like you have a lovely BG, too.

I have seen so many partial flowers in the last few weeks here, that I am longing to see the whole flower. I would love to see these two lovelies in their entirety against their soft BG

Very nice portrait of these two orchids! I like the comp, the colorful centers of the orchids, and the beautiful white petals.

Gigi - Very fine work here. Somewhat minimalistic with the colors breaking the white expanse. Great handling of the whites.

Orchids are so tough… I run from them…but, this works…you’ve filled the frame with delicate lines and snow-white subtle textures. Well done!

Gigi: Elegantly beautiful. The tiny touches of color make this special. Well composed and captured.>=))>

Good grief, Gigi! It's hard enough to do white-on-white, and it's difficult to do justice to orchids. So here, you do both with aplomb!

Wonderful art in my opinion Gigi. The composition and personality of these orchids is wonderful.
