Pinks

Gallery: FloraPosted October 28, 201245 views8 comments

This variety is a darker pink than I was looking for. Nevertheless, I think it works with the high key approach.

I'm drawing a blank as far as the title goes. At least I found an effective vertical composition. I notice I'm having difficulty with verticals of orchids. Even thing I visualize and shoot as verticals get cropped to horizontals. They seem to fit the frame better that way.

Beautiful, Mark. One of my favorites of the orchids that you've posted. I particularly like the lighting and nice color in this one, as well as the vertical comp.

Mark - Another beautiful one

. Nothing wrong with this but I was wondering if shooting a bit more from the left would have shown the center of the main bloom in the center and whether that view would have been a bit more interesting.

The vertical works just as well as the horizontals. Excellent work!

I think this may be one of the best of your orchid series, Mark, for me. The turn of the flowers as they rise is so beautiful, and the colours and light are perfection.

Mark:
This vertical is perfect. No issue with framing. The hkey works well with this variety too. Another top drawer image.

Mark: I've been around for quite a while and think your orchid series is the finest treatment of that species during my tenure as moderator. Marvelous breadth of subjects and another superb capture. >=))>
