Orchid White with Pink. Nikon D200. AF-S VR DX Micro-Nikkor 105 mm f/2.8. 105 mm (Equiv 157 mm). ISO 400. 1/250 sec at f/36. Copyright Joanne Mason 2012.
A new addition to the orchid series. The closeup of the center of the orchid flower has an otherworldly appearance. Strange how we are so captivated by such bizarre appearing plants as the orchids. Or how flowers such as the orchids can change their appearance from elegant and refined to strange and unearthly with a change in perspective and distance. And yet even in the strangeness of this closeup view there is beauty.
