Orchid

Taken using a borrowed Pentax DiS with a 300mm lens. I considered removing the leaves on the left, but after a closer look decided that they added to the composition, I sellected the centre and sharpened it a bit just so it stood out. Ernie

Sorry but Ive double posted again, I will have to be more patient. Ernie

I dunno how you postprocessed it but it looks like the print on a canvas. Maybe you'll post an original (or only sharpened) version here? because I dunno if there's a noise or grain or what is it.

I like the grain, It makes it look different than "just another flower". NIce color and DOF as well.

whatever the post processing here is it looks amazing, like its painted.

Print on a canvas, well done, that is how it is supposed to look, I use a texture process on all my flower shots, some suit some don't. thanks all. Ernie

I like it - the canvas look works well on this. Of course, orchids are my favorite flowers. Very nice!
