[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was very pleased to have gotten the orchid named after lesvos, when i was there in April. Ophrys lesbis (= from lesvos).

The plan was fully in the shade but with the reflector disk the plant was easily lit and washed with warm colors. As a bonus the plan is now nicely contrasting with the background,

Hé, hé... I did not know that you got it! Very beautiful species, with a perfect light! I like the dark BG and the very good sharpness of 3 flowers! Not easy to do. I'm waiting for next spring to see again orchids and to test my new reflector disk... Thanks for this beauty,
Catherine

Hello Jeroen
I love your dainty and colourful Ophrys lesbis. The lighting really works here, not to harsh, yet brings out the colours perfectly. Excellent DOF, details and composition.
