Flower

[Charles Hess]

The plastic wrap looks like it can be a cool effect, but it appears to have washed out the color. The lighting adjustment you did doesn't work for me...the combination of the two effects gives this a dingy kind of look. Looks like you have an excellent shot beneath the effects. I'd like to see the original. :-)

Here you go. I hated the backround but couldnt find anything to put behind the flower...

here's my take--athough it might have benefited from a different angle

orchids are beautiful---I really like your spider posts as well

That's nice. I couldnt get to select just the flower and I see that you did cut some parts on the lower "leaves" (whats the dmn word...) {Although I do realise it was just a quick one]. I have a couple of dozens pics of that flower but most were leaving part of it out of the frame, others had terrible lightning etc. In other words I feel that was the best one...
