orchid macros

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

That last tongue shot is amazing - how much detail can you get ???? :)
Lovely Bernie - glad to see the macro getting a workout too :)

Your stunning shots captured so much detail! The colours are so vivid too :)

I've been tossing up whether or not to get a macro lens and your images are on their way to convincing me to do just that :D

Very stunning photos - and you make me want extension tubes more than ever!

Are these photos the full frame captured by the camera, or have you cropped the images at all? If its the full view from the camera, then you must have been very close to the orchid in the third shot. Well done!

........ all 3 images are full frame, the only PP done was some dirt removal from the flower and slight white balance increase, little unsharp mask, raw to jpeg, and post.......
