Phalaenopsis Orchid

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

I made this image today Morning at my Home.

I place the plant on the Dining Table with reflective light coming from my back (Front Light the Flower).

I made sure that there were no shadows on the flower. I placed the white wall as background which was latter filled with white color in Post Processing.

Photographed with d850 focus stacking Method.

Let me know your thoughts and comments.

I probably should have taken couple of shots on the stem and should have used the same.

Thanks
Krishna

Looks like stacking has worked well for this. The entire flower is sharp. I don't mind oof stems. Lighting is good. well composed.

Krishna I think you nailed it well done, good stacking I don't see any artefacts, I like the colours. I have contemplated similar but never been able to get a single bloom as you have.

[Steve Maxson]

A beautiful orchid and your stacking worked well to get the entire flower sharp!

The stacking worked very well. The High key treatment works. I don't mind the stem being out of focus.
