OCOLOY Day 88: Orchid in the Spotlight

This orchid stands on the mantelpiece in our sitting-room - I particularly liked the way that the angled afternoon sun created a spotlight effect.

This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.

Richard, this is so artistic with your use of line/shadow/tone. I like the way the stalk on the right is positioned leaning in to the flower, as if to protect or communicate.

[Margo Sayer]

Simple, stark..and stunning.

Beautifully composed!

[Jasper]

Excellent. Especially on black.
