Still Beautiful

It is all dried up, has been for a long time, but when one looks closely it has great textures and
colors. I was going to pick it off but never did, It reminded me of a little parchment lantern. It will stay awhile longer and I will look closely and see it's present beauty and it's past glory. The remains of a phalaenopsis orchid.

Beautiful use of light to bring out the textures.

@fauxtography365 Thank you Ms. Your comments always appreciated

[Laetitia Petrussa]

Interesting shapes and colours. And great job on the lighting!

[Tom]

@laetitiapetrussa Thanks Laetitia ; used an rc flash toned down shooting up into it.

Not only is it a gorgeous macro but the lighting is fabulous. You found a small sample of easily overlooked beauty (dare I say wallflower?) and turned it into a full-fledged artwork. Nicely done.

@stimuloog Thanks Marloes, this one was really fun to try and use my rc flash to capture the color and detail.

[Keith Porteous]
