Week 1 was a stroll in the botanic gardens where I walked into a cloud of sand flies and itched for a week. This week was the local orchid house where I attracted every blood sucking mosquito within cooee! But I shall valiantly continue each week.
Hope you enjoy my orchids.

A lovely soft image. Must be a fellow Aussie if using the cooee terminology. Just checked ΓΆ€“ yep. By the way, I live in what is known as the capital of sand fly city. You do become immuned (slightly) after a while.

lol now that is dedication to your craft. I love shallow DOF on flowers. The background blends together beautifully.

'Glow' would be the perfect word to describe this beautiful flower shot. Well done. My iPhone has a mosquito repellent app that works really well (to my surprise). But still, what are a few itchy little bits compared to glorious glow of this?!

How beautiful! I would have liked to see more of the inside of the flowers, but it's lovely the way it is. The bokeh is a nice touch.

Stunning colours and love the soft outer rim. Shot in shade and perfect WB. Good photography costs :)

Colors and tonality are wonderfully lush.

I like the contrast between the bokeh and the detail in the orchid's beard.

Creamy bokeh, makes the image.

Yes, 'suck it up' and continue.
The reward is worth it.
