Orchids

For NF-SOOC.

It took a few tries to get this one. I placed the black side of a 4 in 1 reflector as the background and used an LED light for illumination. At first I tried b&w but didn’t like the result so switched to colour. Then I was either underexposing or over exposing the petals. Finally got one right. I’m still not happy with the background or those pesky leaves intruding on the bottom. Easy to fix in Lightroom but of course this is sooc month. I think it looks better on black.

It is a brilliant result sooc. Not easy to get the light and detail right. I love orchids they always look as though they are singing fav

@onewing Not sure if you just forgot Babs, if you don't click the star, the fav does not count ;-)

Simple but so effective. The little hint of colour works well.

Nice POV.

It’s a very nice capture. I think the eye is drawn to the beautiful white flowers. I didn’t even notice the leaves until I read your comment.

Well done.
