Bells

No, I'm not bored with orchids yet.

I think the three diagonal flowers look like bells and the two flowers in profile look like little piggies. "Bells" seemed like a more suitable title.

I'll be revisiting this variety to show off the apricot petals and their vein pattern.

The top petal on the right flower looks detached from the rest of the flower. Is that bothersome?

Mark:
Very strong compositional elements in this image. The odd number blooms, the diagonal placement, the arching stem, perfect framing makes this a winner. I might try a slight gradient exposure from top to bottom to reduce the loss of edge definition at the top.

Mark - Absolutely stunning !!. Love this variety of Orchid. Without reading Gary's comment, I too thought I'd bring back some details into the top most Orchids.
