Very nicely made. I like green on green with varying shades of green in the flowers and the leaves. Lighting is excellent bringing the tonal ranges in green. The flower on the top is a little soft compared to the one in the foreground. selective sharpening may improve it.
Interesting orchid variety. My only suggestion to improve would be a less similar color of flower to background. Believe it would give more depth of field to the flower. I am enjoying your photo exploration of the orchids. Thanks for posting.
Gorgeous! I love the green on green – there is enough separation of the flower from the BG for me. It had a mysterious look. Wonderful lighting. My only thought is just a curiosity – the green-on-green leans toward a green cast, which may be just what you want. I assume you’ve probably tried some small tweaks of the tone and tint sliders – they can often reveal surprising but subtle colors, which may or may not be an interesting different look here.
David: I like the green on green and there is enough tonal separation so that the leaves are distinct from the b/g. The yellow of the flowers are little blasts of color that attract the eye in a very positive way. Well done. Richard
