Hello friends in TL,

I spotted this orchid on show with beautiful texture and looking like a monkey pot in some part of the flower. I would like to share this image with friends here in TL. Thanks for viewing. Regards.

Hi...
Beautiful details...
Nice colors and composition...
Best regards...
Andro

Jusni,
The details and color of the orchid are wonderful. I like the light and shadows in the shot. The D.O.F. is really good allowing the orchid to stand out.

KEvin

Hello Jusni,
Close-up work is well done!
But even more impressive is the orchid, we have a few species of orchids growing wild in Norway too but nothing like this...
excellent details and the colours are well reproduced!
Greetings,

Hi Jusni
Very nice orchid. Very attractive but in my opinion the dark bottom right hand corner spoils your picture. I have done a very quick and simple workshop to remove this area. Otherwise well photographed.

Hello again Jusni.
Beautiful picture of this Orchid. Wonderful plant they are.
Today, Meri and I repotted some of the many orchids we have in the house. A large one who use to give many huge white flowers, we split off a smaller one. Hope both will survive in fresh ground.
Best regards from Jan

Hi Jusni,
Beautiful compo. Great colours and definition.
Congratulations,
Best Regards,

Not bad work mate - good exposure overall, good DOF and good bokeh.

Two suggestions though -

1 maybe you could have shaded the orchid so that the direct sunlight wasn't hitting it? That has created a strong shadow and a strongly-lit petal.

2 maybe you could have gone for a smaller aperture and deeper field of focus so that more of the orchid was sharp?

A nice capture overall mate.

hi Jusni
amazing colors of a beautiful plant. great clarity and lighting. well set in nice background .

Hello my friend
You're a wise man for keeping away from carnivorous plants with a 195mm lens!!
This one is so attractive, no wonder why bugs get lured!
Nice colors abd shapes well visible on blurred backdrop.
Au revoir, mon ami.
Robert

Hi Jusni,

I am now beginning to appreciate photos of flowers because I have just realised the pains in taking a REALLY good snap of flowers and it is not easy.

Your photo of this orchid is exposed well and the colours really come through. Having a lens capable of macro must be really handy. I will have to save more money in order to afford good lens.

The orchid actually looks like Slipper Orchids but I might be wrong.

TFS.

Alvin

Salam Jus,
curi masa sikit..tengah dok buat syllabus ni. Rasa boring sikit. So tengok your shot.
Nice composition and great colour saturation.
I always like the orchid hybrids. All of them are special.

Foozi
