Cowslip Orchids

I couldn't decide which shot I liked best so I have included both, actually I like the light on the first one but it didn't showcase the flowers enough so that's why the need for the second one. These little orchids a fairly common, so they were an easy find today.

I like the first one with the slight halo around the stem of the orchid...both lovely orchid pics

Really lovely. The backlighting is lovely on the left hand image. You could do a little added exposure on the flower head with post processing.

[Valerie Chesney]

Lovely, such pretty centers...like the little white 'skirt' & tips of the petals..

[Paul]

I like the light on image2 but they're both lovely 😊

[Jenfurj]

So lovely. I have to say I prefer the clarity of the photo on the right.

They may be common, but they are just beautiful.

both are nice, but I prefer the right pic - much more brightness

@julieco Thanks Julie, I agree, I did think about lightening up the flower, but then my toddler decided I'd spent enough time on the computer!
