Hi Raimundo

You present us a very beautiful and delicate flower picture. I like it very much! The colors are superb, very well highlighted by a fine composition.

I would be interested to know why this flower is difficult to photograph!

Kind regards

Markus

Hello Raimundo
Good photo of this Angraecum leonis, I know it is not easy to get a nice photo of this white orchid, but on your picture
the white came out nicely and details are sharp
Well done
Best regards
Albert

Hi Raimundo,

That's a very beautiful flower, and I can understand how it would be a difficult one to photograph, being white with sort of reflective surfaces. Best way is to expose for the highlights and brighten up the dark parts in an image editor, maybe do some noise reduction, if it's needed after brightening.

Your composition is very nice, but I think the frame is slightly too large and distracts from the image itself.

Thanks,
John

Hi Raimundo,
Very beautiful flowers and the picture looks magnificent. Very impressive sharpness and details with lovely colours. Perfect lighting and you have controlled the exposure on the white petals very skilfully. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.
