Seeing the sun for the first time in several days so I took the orchids into the bathroom studio and let the sidelight show them off. Also used a gold reflector to bounce some warm light onto the face of the lower petals. All comments welcome.>=))>

Gorgeous shot, Bill! The texture and detail in the flower looks superb.

Very nice way to fill the frame in this comp. Truly lovely flowers. There is some nice delicate texture left on the petals. I imagine the bathroom studio isn't use just for human portraits? Smile!

Nice detail, Bill I like the colors and the light. It seems like the shadows are a bit heavy, although there is plenty of detail there.

Fine look at this orchid, Bill. Your fancy lighting set up

sure lets the details in the inner petals show.

Interesting shot, esp the angle. I'd like a little more brightness on the bottom part, but then again without it that central petal perhaps shines more.
