Nice and delicate orchids.  Beautiful colors and nice bokeh.  Nice work Linda. Thanks for your recent visit. Regards - michel

linda, interesting angle, like the softness associated with b/g and also the colors.  i have worked with these flowers several times over the years,  but have never unlocked their secrets.  hope your well......roger

Thanks for the kind comments. It is good to hear from both of you.

All the best,

Linda

Agree that this is a wonderful subject,what i like her is contrast with bg that makes this interesting,my best regards.

But why? Why???  It's really well done.  My best guess is that the nearest petal is in an indeterminate position - not facing us at all, but not quite edge on either.  It grabs my attention and distracts me.  Otherwise lovely, though.  best, jamie

Good Morning Linda, Nice colors and great bokeh make this work. All orchids are great subjects. Your restraint in not oversaturating the colors is noted, as these guys don't need any help. Take care.

BR,

Holger

Those kind  flowers hard to capture... You did it and did it well!

Thanks so much for visiting.

A beautiful capture of these very beautiful orchids Linda. Such lovely colours in your DOF! I imagine these were captured in Hawaii. There are so many varieties and these ones are exceptional.

Warmest regards, Gail

These Phaelenopsis are beautiful, well-captured and I like the details. 

Hi Linda,

Candy for the eyes.

Nice work all around.

Best Regards,  Mike

Thank you all for the kind comments.

Gail, I was just blown away by all the different orchids we saw there. Even the plain, simple orchids are amazing. I am glad you like these.

Lester, thanks for the correct horticulturist's name, Phaelenopsis of the Orchidaceae family. I hadn't heard that term before, I will try to remember that. It is nice to hear from you.

Mike, thank you. I am glad to hear that you like this.

Best wishes,

Linda
