This Epi hybrid orchid has very crystaline blossoms, you can see the tiny specular highlights. This group of Epidendrums have been bred in colors from pale yellow to cherry red and everything in between. Unfortunately they don't all bloom at the same time. The bloom spikes vary in height from about 18" to almost three feet. Photo created indoors by window light. Hope you like my image. C and C welcome, I'm here to learn. - John

You got some amazing DOF on this John. My eye went straight to that center bloom and then rambled around to all the others...it kept my attention and I was surprised by the great range of sharpness throughout. Another winner.

Hey John, this really has a nice pop to it. Great details and the high key works well.

John,

Really like this photo. That EF 100 mm macro sure has loads of DOF like Jules said. This has pop like Mike pointed out...
