get pushed #45 - orchid by summerfield

get pushed #45 - orchid

we cannot finish a month of flowers without featuring the orchid, queen of all flowers - it is beautiful, exotic and sensual. or maybe just because they're on sale.

a friend wanted a "nice" close-up photo of herself and asked me if i can do it for her. it took me five minutes to study the lighting in her living room. i did a high key and a low key and she liked both. i cannot however post it here because she simply doesn't want me to. so this afternoon she gave me an orchid plant and so tonight i have a flower to photograph and post.

tagging this also for the get-pushed challenge. mcdeafdog's @riverlandphotos challenge for me is "minimalism". i think it fits the bill, do you not think so?
Love the high key and definitely minimalist! Simply stunning!
