Very nifty idea. Makes me want to start peeling some potatoes or something. Sigh....so many ideas to stea...borrow ;) so little time. The color on the orange is superb against that black. Really nice.

The light on the petals is pretty cool, especially against the dark background. Why aren't there any bioluminescent (sp?) flowers. That would be cool. Well, they've made glow in the dark cats, so why not flowers? Until then, I'm going to have to "borrow" your idea and see what cool shots I come up with :) Great shot.

Paphiopedilum Luna Moth X Maudiae 'Clair de Lune'

Wow. I've never seen that before. What a cool flower. I like how the lines in the background are going in the opposite diagonal of the flower. I wish you had been a little closer to it, but that's only because I'd like to see some more fine detail on the weird flower. Great shot.

Perspective

The depth of field is really cool with that ground. I wish the flower had been forward just a bit so all of it would be in focus. I like the angle everything is at

An angel with a barn-owl face. That is really cool. A "Choir of Angels" collection would be cool. All sorts of orchids shot at that cool angle and zoom. Very pretty.

Great shot, I love the drip. I'm glad that the background has enough detail to not be boring(especially the bottom-right corner), yet nothing takes attention away from your subject. Nice job

Wild Flower

Thats awesome. I have these growing in my front yard, and a pic of them is actually my desktop right now. Wild Flower in Dallas, TX The angle on your shot is very cool. It looks as if the flower is reaching for something. The detail on the leaves is very nice and reminds us that flowers are only part of the story. There's a whole plant underneath it which is just as beautiful as the bloom.

Really great shot. I wish you could've gotten closer, but I understand. Heh, frog leaping at camera would've been a good Fauna entry. I like how the frog is almost an extension of the plant. Good title, as well.

Botanical Abstract

Not my favorite upon first glance. However, if you look at it for 15 seconds or so everything starts to move a little and get a bit blurry. Abstract indeed! I also like the fact that you've focused more on the basic outline of the plant, not color or texture or (insert fancy photography related word here). Ha....i dont know much about photography. I'm glad that I stopped to look at your shot for a couple of minutes. Now it's time to rest my eyes ;) 6

Star Light

Those reflections are awesome. I wish you could've gotten all of them in focus, but then again, that depth-of-field blurriness makes the flower just seem huge, and that's pretty cool.
