Green Orchid

A beautiful orchid Judy suggested I photograph for you with a little artistry from BeFunky to capture its beauty.
I love this! Beautiful orchid, great lighting.

@daveanajao Thank you Dave! The Canon A560 is a point and shoot with a fixed lens. According to the writing on the camera it is a 4X optical zoom, 5.8-23.2mm 1:2 6-5-5. I'm not sure what all that means but I can tell you I was using the macro setting in manual at 400 ISO when I took this shot (at least I think that's what I had it set for). I hope that somewhere in all that info is the answer to your question!

@daveanajao Thank you so much Dave- your macros are always awesome!

@groovygirlrn Thank you Sheri! Judy's sun room is perfect for natural lighting. I also took a couple shots which were deliberately over exposed which had the effect of making the orchid look like it was fading into the light. But in the end, I decided to use the one which had the natural back lighting.
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian!
@sarasdadandmom Thanks Terry!
@lyno Thanks Lyn! It's one of the most unique orchids I've ever seen.
@automaticslim Thanks Andy!
@sangwann Thanks Dione!
@cimes1 Thanks Carole!

Lovely - I particularly love the colours shining through the leaf at its lightest point.. perhaps I'm longing for spring already!
