Orchid update

These images were taken with my new camera and an older 17-85mm lens, playing around with exposure settings and the macro manual focus.

great pic,

just be careful keeping it outdoors. orchids flourish with humid, warm climate therefore better to keep in indoors on the eastern part of your house if you want your blooms to last.
