These are beautiful, I especially like the first image. These WXGA TruBrite technology screens really bring out the features in shots like these. :D

Very beautiful photos Darren. You captured the flowers with great sharpness and the DOF is super. I have a few of these in my collection :wink:

Very nice, I think it's Phalaenopsis. :D
The meaning of beauty is in sharing with others.

WOW The first photo is tack-sharp, perfect exposure, very beautiful. But, the second shot is something else! I love the color combination. So vivid, it just vibrates on my screen. Both are very good.

Hi Darren,

Not the easiest subject with such large areas of white (I'm referring to pic1 of course) and I bet the levels histogram looks interesting. Anyway, you managed to achieve as near as possible a perfect exposure - well done!

Thanks all,

they are indeed Phalaenopsis and are something else, was wondering if they come in other colours will google it later :-)

Thanks again
