I returned to Longwood with tripod in hand and managed an improved shot of this exotic orchid.

| March 1, 2009 @ 7:44pm | I like your first shot better! This one shows several flowers, which are so busily designed that the image becomes more of a pattern/texture than a portrait of a lovely flower. So it all depends on which feeling you want to emphasize - portrait or pattern. I'm more oriented toward the portrait mode.

I agree completely the "portrait" quality and softened coloring are a better image. There is no rest for the eye here.

And yet, there is a lot of personality here! I think of Court Jesters or Mardi Gras, and start to imagine how that might be brought out in post...
Though that may not have anything to do with your vision of this fascinating orchid. I've certainly never seen the like; how cool.
