Recent attempt at taking orchids.
Comments welcome.

there is something wrong with the exposure or lighting, it seems right but at the same time wrong.

btw it looks like an erotic picture

Bro Ortega,

Everything looks erotic to you huh
hehehehe.

Bro sslow,

2 points I notice here.
(1) Black background not very ideal.
(2) Point of focus too central here. some cropping might make this look better?

Anyway, as i mentioned, its really difficult. Go nearer, you lose the essence of the whole flower. Go further, you are treated with messy background,

Hope to see your orchid shots!

Regards,
tltan
 

Thanks for comments.
Find it very difficult to take macro shots. Focusing is difficult - cannot decide what to focus on (composition challenge). At this close distance, the dof is very narrow (or short) too. The slightest movement and the shot is out of focus.

Like orchids because they are rather erotic / exotic / sensual (all important keywords).
