Not the most spectacular image, but we were most happy to find a few blooms intact of this rare variant of the Bee Orchid. What is even more stunning is to find these delicate flowers in an otherwise totally dismal industrial setting!

Image made with Nikon D500, Tamron 90mm and diffusion umbrella. One faded bloom as removed in PP.

Thanks for stopping by, Sinuhe.

Hi

A very unusual colourations and certainly a lovely shot to see - maybe not spectacular, but not all shots have to be either to be enjoyed

All the best

There is something so fresh and clean and at the same time peaceful, when you see shades of green and white together, and here you have subtle variations in the two main colours which are very appealing. Lovely flower and image Sinuhe!

Lovely flower and a fine image - the diffused light looks great.

Thanks Tom - it is a simple cheap "studio flash" shoot through umbrella - very handy for photographing flowers in otherwise glaring daylight.
