    Default Weekly Theme: Orchids

    I had done some shots of orchids that my wife had brought home and posted on macro, flora. I thought I'd take the opportunity to play some with Topaz Adjust and post here. All thoughts are always appreciated.

    Dave, I gotta say I think I might like this one even more. The one you posted in Macro was lovely but this one has a really artsy feel and the high key BG is great! Nicely done.:) Comp wise I might be tempted to take a tiny slice off the top.

    Funny you should mention, but I considered taking a little off the top but was afraid of making the composition too tight. Guess I should trust my instincts more :o

    I love the high key look, the purples, and the effect. Please provide a link to the one in macro :)
