One of my favourite flowers

well think you nailed both of them.. only thing i say would make them better..is a solid back ground.. the line kind of takes away from them..

 

Oh my!! I really like the first one. The color and patterns are so beautiful. I think I will spend some time with orchids this summer! :biggrin:

Oops, sorry I forgot about the second image...Yes, a solid background would be beneficial. Although, I must say that I am not distracted by the vertical line in the first image, in fact, I like the shadow play.

 

Crystall are y'all talking about a PS solid background?? Orchid sheds are just full of sticks/lines that ruin shots.
