This is a dorsal view of the Warty Hammer Orchid from Perth Western Australia. I don't normally use flash on flowers but on some of these orchids I really like the look of the dark background to accentuate the detail. I shall post the side view next post.
Very cool and different shot!
I too thought it was a bug!
I do feel that making the BG even darker as it is and thereby removing some of the branches (and dust-spots)form the BG would highly improve this original photograph!
