Bloomed Thursday

We bought this orchid about six months ago. They sell them in mesh bags at Lowe's for around $5. After six months it bloomed this past Thursday.

GREAT shots!
GREAT shots!
The background is my living room wall. I am taking a series of orchid photos with the same background to be mounted on canvas and hung on the opposite neutral color wall. All of the photos are HDR. Here is today's project.

Is it just my old eyes or do these all look soft especially for being HDR?? Orchids are great subjects. I'm going to be shooting the U of M Arboretum orchid show next month, looking forward to it.........

I don't know if they are soft especially if you look at the leaves and stem in the last photo. The flowers are a very delicate and quite small variety of orchid each of the red blooms measures less than an inch across. I used exposure fusion and not compression in the software for these shots and did some finishing in photoshop.

Nice color & subject matter. Touch up the stem on your last photo, that band is distracting. Good job!
