Nice focus and lighting on the orchid. I find the leaves distracting and the orchid too centered.

The gilding on the leaf - sheen - is a nice setting.

Beautiful leaf detail. The play of light is magnificent. Also liked the black background. Very nice detail.

harsh lighting

orchids are cool looking flowers
04/30/2006 06:14:39 PM
a little washed out

colors are too washed out and dont really give a striking effect.
could have worked with color balance to try and make the orchid more red as it is red and green not fuschia and green.
uninteresting title.

The lighting is quite hard on this photograph. A diffuser would have helped tremendously.

too much light
04/29/2006 10:00:56 PM
I like the setup here, great complemantary colours.
04/29/2006 02:35:36 PM
lighting is a bit harsh IMHO and the compliment of purple is yellow ;(

Nice texture and contrast but possibly a little too much flash or brightness?
04/29/2006 09:14:59 AM
the flash is too bright here
04/28/2006 09:23:27 PM
Interesting. Looks like a mouth opening up. The brightness of the green is a little distracting away from the flower itself tho, to my eye.

It looks like you used the flash which blowed the higlights. Try using something to bounce the light from the flash instead, like a white paper. Plus, not complementary.

nice image
04/26/2006 11:10:22 PM
good shot
but polarizer would help

2 - Don't mind the composition and, despite the somewhat harsh lighting, adds something, as complements the 'sheer' texture of the orchids petals. Ultimately though, I'm seeing purple and green, and a slightly unusual green at that, so doesn't meet the Challenge in my opinion.
04/26/2006 06:33:57 PM
Very nicely done.
04/26/2006 04:57:23 PM
An interesting composition. I think you've got good focus but the lighting is a little harsh. Maybe the use of a polarizer might have helped to bring out the colour and texture of the leaves.
04/26/2006 02:23:23 PM
Lighting is really harsh and I don't see any significant amounts of yellow or red, which according to the challenge details would be the complimentary colors to purple or green respectively.

light is too harsh here in my opinion
