Hello John.

I tried to do something like this this year but could never find a setting good enough. This as now made me want to try again.

Beautiful setting and placing of the Orchids is spot on.

Just love it.

That looks like a quintissential English country scene. Well seen and composed John. As an example of placing the subject in it's environment this works perfectly. Nice one.
