Quite a sensual post Gracie!

You seem to find beauty everywhere, in the skies, in flowers, in reptiles, in landscapes.

The colours and waves are what drew me into this image and dead center focus on casper was the way to go.

This image has a dream like quality to it (a watery feel) with spaciousness and ease within.

full marks

    Thank you. Your reviews always seem so nice, and always make me think of the Book of Proverbs, especially with your usage of Gracie.

    Grace is but Glory begun, and Glory is but Grace perfected.

    You are perfect Grace.

    That's going a little overboard! I'd have to disagree.

    Your macro was wonderful
Comment from USWA6346


Awesome shot! I didn't know Orchids had such interesting centers. I do see a friendly looking, smiling creature at the center. I'm not sure I think of Casper....more a mole creature, and giving a "thumbs up". I also see something infinitely more beautiful in your photo, but I cannot comment.

    Thank you very much! I appreciate the grand rating on this one too. I know, the centers of some orchids do resemble other things :)
Comment from Monica Morrell


This is interesting. Wonderful colorization throughout the photo. I would not know what it was if you didn't tell me. That makes the photo even more interesting. Great clarity and detail. I don't believe I've ever seen a close-up of an orchids center. It is even more Beautiful than I have ever imagined before.

Comment from Sange


Hmmm Casper? Nope don't see him...but I do see the cutest long eared puppy dog in center complete with eyes, snout and round nose!
Ok... It's a colorful macro style shot of the inside of this orchid.
Nice selective focus, fine exposure and creative POV showing the Puppy inside!

Beautiful closeup shot of this orchid. The colors are gorgeous and the interiors of flowers have always amazed me . I love the symmetry in this and the lovely way it's naturally framed. Great job.

:):):) This is a great looking close-up shot of the orchid! She appears to be all smiles!:) You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Thanks for sharing!

Envision. Thank you for posting this. I find Orchids fascinating. Have you ever seen duck orchids or monkey orchids or dancing lady orchids? So many others. The variety is amazing. I recognize the center of this one. I remember seeing this Casper face before. This composition is lovely. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image.
