Beautiful George. I am painting orchids and collecting them now. Love this one!

Cheri, Thank you for posting this beautiful Orchid in the Pay It Forward thread and your vote. All I had to do with this photo was work with the brightness and contrast for the indoor lighting. George

George, What a gorgeous composition of this orchid! I don't know if you edited in this effect, but it seems to be glowing from within. Beautiful colors, framing and presentation! Voted and my selection for the Pay it Forward discussion in Wisconsin Flowers Group. v
