In Your Dreams iii

Posted by Ron (Saint Louis, United States) on 11 February 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

The bloom fully in focus to the far right looks (to me) like an angel.

Like a Japanese painting, so delicate in colour and composition. Beautiful.

Wonderful series of the dreams, Ron. Your control of the light levels, both on the orchids and on the background, shows a very astute photographic eye. Well done!

You're right, it does. You're DOF makes this image IMHO, it isolates the simple but elegant subject very well.

So beautiful. I realize that this is a picture of orchids but it reminds me of a flower called "Lady's Slipper" It also reminds me of a ballerina. Just lovely Ron.
