I love orchids, but it's tough to get a spray with blooms on a similar plane of focus. This one worked, I think.

Hi

A beautiful flower spike and a super image - it looks really good from here

Sometimes playing about with a reflector can help place the lighting and emphasize one subject area other another; hence when things are not aligned nicely you can sort of push stuff more into the background

All the best
Matthew
