Clamshell Orchid

My first request for critique.

Thanks for any comments.

Your orchids are quite spectacular. Black background works VERY well with these. Might also like to see you push the saturation / multiply factor up a notch. Beautiful, Gordon. Detail is just perfect.

I appreciate the suggestion. I am really into botany so I try to keep the colours and saturation as true to the original species as possible.

Came to visit your garden, Gordon, I found this " couple" of what looks a femal and a mal behind..... She really looks like with a wedding dress!!.... It is very beautiful, "talks" to my imagination.;-))

This one has always struck me as a man and woman dancing back to back, like a moment captured during a tango.

Beautiful capture. I love the colors and the delicate white to offset the black background. I like the idea of a couple dancing. I can also see a maypole, with the ribbons dancing in the wind.

Regards,

Amanda
