I went a step further and gave it the Chuck Lee treatment and blacked the background out. I also cloned the shadowed areas on the right orchids to remove the harsh shadow. Hope you don't mind! []

Re: Orchid
I took the constructive criticism and shot this again since I am not a
PS expert. Another flower had bloomed and I shot the other side this
time. I like the results much better. What do you think now? Thanks for
the help.[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.22.75/_5F00_002-copy3.jpg[/img]

Re: Orchid
Tip: more dramatic lightring works better with flower photography. Look into how Mapplethorpe lit his flower series: those are considered flawless in many a photographers book.

Re: Orchid
I really like the above examples with dark background and dramatic lighting, anda wide depth of field. This one is a bit of the opposite approach, and I'd welcome feedback. I tried several different apertures and selected the widest as my personal favourite. I used live view to manuallypinpoint the focus on the flower in front.
