Hi Splitfield - just love these flowers...I like the compostion of the shot but feel the focus is slightly off...better I think on the Stamen (or the coloured bit if that is the wrong part I am saying)...may have also been tempted to clone out the background leaves and just leave in the stalk...what do you think..

(oops I had a go at doing this and was about to post when i noticed you have said...ASK ME FIRST on your Avatar...)

No worries Paul. You go ahead. I had already cloned out a couple of errant stalks but thought I'd leave that bottom r/h bit in. By all means have a go and we'll see if it's better. Thanks for looking!

Hi Paul - certainly gives a cleaner image. Wish I'd have brought the stalky bit out a bit more though. S'good edit mate!

Got loads of these orchid images - all natural light against black perspex. They all started flowering at once!
