  #182 Contre Jour / Backlighting 		Entry 9 of 23
   
 
Orchid       ©2017 SteveBee
Panasonic DMC-GX85       9th place, 87 points
1/1000s, f5.3, ISO 400, 167mm, Aperture Priority, ?, ?
 
Post-Processing: Softened the petals by decreasing clarity to give a more glowing feeling.       Extra Info: Positioned orchid against a relatively dark background some distance away while also being backlit by the late afternoon sun directly behind.

Feb 19, 2017		     Why didn't I think of this? My wife is an avid orchid grower and such specimens abound in our home. Maybe next time. Great job.

Feb 17, 2017		     Well succeeded orchid picture. I have tried it too. I suppose you have darkened the background selectively. In my favorites.

Feb 17, 2017		     Nice backlighting - composition might be better without the right and bottom white petals.
