Wonderful image. This, for me at least, creates a feeling of serenity and peacefulness. I love how you added all the elements together to create a good final image. Your elements are very outside the box.

An interesting mix to make this finished image. The color of the orchid bud makes for an interesting break in the greys of the remaining frame. A different aspect for sure.

What an interesting staged shot. I don't really care if it was staged, the end product is what I always look for. Really great job. Good luck.

this bud is for you. not bad really but it is too bright and then too dark at the bud. it is making my eyes hurt.

but a good idea for another subject later,

Thank you for your honest review, Sorry to make your eyes hurt, but the strong light dark contrast is exactly what was intended because its for the light shadow contest. Thank you for realizing it and pointing it out. You made my day. :-)

Comment from Geokat
Very clever set up of this shot, and I enjoy your effort
tremendously. Fantastic focus and light illumination on the orchid bud. And by the way, you could have fooled me!

Wow! This is incredibly beautiful. You're very imaginative and creative. The orchid is gorgeous. The lighting you created is perfect, and then you added the moon, making it spectacularly stunning composition. It's a perfect entry for the contest. Great impact and detail. The lighting is perfect, and the colors are so bright and vivid. You're focus is very crisp and sharp. Fantastic work!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Good luck!!!
