More natural light orchids

BigAl

In this thread Brian felt the other orchids on the plant were a bit distracting, so I took some more shots at F2.8 to try and blur out the background (I almost never use such large apertures for close-ups :wink)






Do they work better??

And, just for fun (not natural light and certainly not F2.8) here's a refraction through one of the honeydew drops on a flower stem on one of the orchid plants.



I used 68mm of tubes on this shot.

Refraction shots are not easy :scratch Hats off to Brian :thumb

Difficult- think I prefer these but more importantly do you ?
Love the honeydew refraction

THanks Brian! I'm not sure about which I prefer - I almost feel I prefer those with more detail.

Wish I could have gotten the plant detail clearer in the refraction - I don't know how you do it, as it's very difficult to see while focussing
