Orchid Shots
This orchid has taken 2 years to bloom again and is emerging by the hour.
The first two shots are LR processed RAW, and the third is a SOOC JPEG. X-E2 +18-55mm: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pb4uycmw1685tu4/DSF4329.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/wusbkmsxl320wbx/DSF4328.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/z6iiw7wvfhzbhy4/DSCF4331.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

I couldn't choose which processing was better, they all. look good to me. |

Nice to see some of the garden. The first focuses on the petals and the second have a dull background. Thanks for sharing. -- teleportation kills |

Nice.
Once I was at the Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh at their orchid garden and took these shots: http://mhmyers.com/orchids/orchids.html --- mhmyers.com In article 2017031517270441305-savageduck1@REMOVESPAMmecom, Savageduck wrote: This orchid has taken 2 years to bloom again and is emerging by the hour.

The orchid in the shots below was given to my "stepdaughter-from-Hell" about 18 months ago. After the original blossoms had whithered it has looked quite unproductive until about a month ago when the buds started appearing on what had appeared to be a woody stem. What I know about orchid cultivation is probably dangerous, and my stepdaughter even more so. All that was done was to maintain the weekly watering regime as per instructions. So those buds and blossoms were something of a pleasant surprise, and photo-worthy.

The empty branch contributes nothing to the image, and diminishes the importance of the subject. Sorry Duck, it just doesn't look like a clean image that I would want to hang on my wall. -- PeterN |

However, with the background OoF that shouldnt be an issue. The empty branch contributes nothing to the image, and diminishes the importance of the subject. What empty branch? There is only the stem with the blossom and buds. Sorry Duck, it just doesn't look like a clean image that I would want to hang on my wall. That's OK. I was just documenting the emerging blossoms. It was never intended to be "wall worthy" fine art. -- Regards, Savageduck |
