Orchid

Messing about with a torch and an orchid, manual focus and manual settings etc......soooo much to think about! Much muttering to self about shutter speeds and aperture sizes......rest of the family think I've lost it now!
Wow - this is so sharp at the edges that you can see the cells - nice backlighting as well :-)

Fab photo. Love the torch idea! Can you see what almost looks like a little dove that has spread its wings? I love orchids.

@oconnor71 yes, I know exactly what you mean about the little dove - I love them too, and apologise for nicking your idea!.........was up against it for ideas last night, hoping for sunshine for day 12 .....but.......errr........ not even any snow either!

Reminds me of skeleton leaves in the autumn, seeing all the veins of the petals. Love the torch idea.
