Orchis militaris

Wonderful light and colours Sinuhe. Love the Orchid and the dew drops... Nicely done as are your previous images. Have a lovely WE.

Stunning Shot Sinuhe. Ilove it so much, it is so wonderful, brilliant and  with a very magical atmosphere.

I never think of any orchid as humble, I know I am no expert, but to me they are all works of art.     I absolutely love this image, Sinuhe - For me this is one of your very best with the different components all playing their part in the final presentation.  Superb!

Love the way the foreground, background and subject orchid are woven together.

Thank you Dave - glad you liked it - light is such an ephemeral element - you need a good portion of luck to catch the right moment!

Thank you Carol - indeed all orchids are little miracles -  I was referring to our tendency (at least mine) to gloss over the more common varieties in our pursuit of rarer species.... a bit like ignoring sparrows in favour of blue tits.

Glad you liked this image - sometimes it just all comes together - light, setting, background and subject - to create a harmonious unity - more fluke than skill

Yes, I knew what you meant and I like sparrows too..........

Everything works in this beautiful scene- the lovely greens, dewdrops, the light...and of course , the orchid. Your EPs are well deserved!
