Orchid

[Nigey]

First real bash at Macro and off camera flash, C&C welcomed!

My first macro shots were of orchids - I found that really getting in to the stamen led to some very "alien" looking shots! There's something very special about orchids.

Cant comment technically as a newb myself. Orchids are indeed very special flowers. I'd prefer not to see the green bit on the right and the black stem on the far left. The brilliant white and vivid purples standing out on the black are lovely

Only my opinion

I think you have made a pretty good start but in this instance the lighting is a bit too harsh for the subject though and I would have been tempted to crop/clone out the buds on the rhs as they distract you from the flowers.
