Lilac Orchid

I stopped off at Judy's before I did my food shopping today to give her some empty egg cartons for a friend who raises chickens and another one of her orchids was blooming. I thought the color was close enough to lilac for me. The petals were so soft looking I decided to go for an abstract.

Nice shot! Love the color and the texture. You did a great job capturing this!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@prttblues Thanks Bev! I tried a couple different angles and even a few with the whole flower but those came out looking too purple/magenta, so I ended up with this- even though it wasn't the best.
