I'm back!

I was busy preparing for my first art show and fell behind on commenting and posting. The show has been a tremendous success. I'm surprised how much time and energy I put into it.

The same variety as the terrible "Twins" although a different plant. I know there's a good shot of these somewhere. I haven't found it yet but I'm getting closer.

Congrats on the show Mark and the image.

I like this as well. Interesting exposure and I like the high key bg and comp.

Mark:

Congrats on the show success

I am glad you have continued to post these for our enjoyment.

I like this variety as well and the translucency of the petals. I have some reservation about the blotch yellow center of the bg bloom - would prefer if its not there or a little more defined.

Well done High Key. I agree with Gary on the blotch.

Splendid. I never tire of this type of work. I believe that you could have a gallery show of this
theme or have a book of your orchids. Looking forward to more of your postings.
