Went to an orchid show out my way late yesterday arvo. Got some pretty cool shots and noticed that the sun was running across a group of paphiopedilum flowers (ladyslipper is the more common name). Shot a couple of shots as the light changed. As always CC welcome.

Photo 1: Before the light had really hit them properly.

Photo 2: Setting sun across the flowers.

Photo 3: Zoomed in, changed to B&W then sepia filter, added some noise, just cause I can :D Prob a bit dark and might have been better on photo 1.

I like the first better but could increase the saturation and contrast maybe?

You're right surenj, now I look at it they do seem a little washed out. Probably due to the light. I'll play with photo 1 tonight and see if I can't boost it a bit. Thanks

Here we go, saturation and contrast sliders pumped up by about 20 each. Thoughts?
