This is another specie orchid from my collection. These small blossoms have chartreuse sepals, yellow petals, with a butter yellow lip. The blossoms bloom in profusion on erect spikes. This is a delightful miniature Lycaste. Image created on my breakfast room table by window light. White card used for bounce (natural light) fill. Hope you like my image. C and C welcome, I'm here to learn. - John

John,

You know I like this orchid. As Fabs says its a nice presentation and yellows are a difficult color to capture...

Another beauty - you sure can tell you are passionate about these flowers because you really capture them so well.

Only thought I have is that you might tone down the flash marks a little bit on the pointed leaves. I like them as is but they do pull my eye down a bit from the flowers.

Great job on the yellows...and superb comp!

Beautiful flowers and photo. Love the composition and detail. Only wish the BG were a more pleasing color.
