A bit of WA

As usual I have been looking around my feet for the scenery.
The orchids in southern WA leave our local gear for dead in size and quantity.
Just one of a multitude.

That is simply amazing. Looks like you had a good time in WA.

Hi Colin
I love the space you've allowed around the orchid. Sometimes it takes a little courage to step back and set the subject into an environment. There's often an obsession with getting close and filling the frame....sometimes this does not need to be done. Nicely done!

Love the greens and purples...
The bokeh seems to have a granular quality to it. Perhaps due to JPEG conversion?

Thanks Matt. I have the full frame efforts as well, but they are not for the art.
Yes I had a good time over there Cameron, always hard to come back.
Yes I have noticed this with quite a few images of late, bit of a concern really. I kept checking iso just to be sure it was at 200.
Hey Rel, thanks. Nice to see you about again, so to speak.

Thanks everyone.
Sorry Surenj,
The granular backgrouds I seem to get when going macro. They do not tend to turn up with my wide angle lense as much as with the 105. They seem to be Jpeg artifacts to me. I soften some backgrounds a bit to reduce this.
