This is Phragmipedium 'Jason Fischer' (Thanks to Brian!)

D200, 105 micro, tripod, natural reflected light, ISO 100, 2 secs @ f/36 - yes, I did it again and finally got the courage to post it.

Well - you're really testing my patience with these f/36 images

It's a pretty image Maureen but next time I insist you shoot this opened up a bit more or I will send you to bed without your reflector Missy. The colors are rich and I truly envy your orchid collection.

Maureen,
I love the reflected light on this. It really brings out the natural colors. Quite a sharp f36. Nicely done.

Uhhhmmmm, if this is the quality you have been hiding from us, PLEASE POST MORE!!!!

I am not normally a fan of the dark lighting you have here, but it works really well for the subject and composition. Well done!

Maureen,

I think, next to your Dendrobium phto, I like this one the best. I have a thing for slipper orchids. This is, BTW, a Phragmipedium, not a Paph.

Wonderful isolation Maureen, and a really REALLY nice shot. Great use of the small end of the aperture! (I know...I know...aperatures do not really have a small end...)

Wow, nice! Love the texture and how just the trace of rim light really sets the flower off. The comp is great, too. Congrats on EP.
