Everyone is giving me flowers! I would much prefer something that won't die in a few days. ;) Cool shot, though I think something needs to be done about the lighting to make the shot more dramatic... the lighting is almost too uniform.
Erm ... btw ... I never said this before ... but! ... This orchid PLANT had never an intention to die in a few days ... It has survived in situ at my mother-in-law's house for about 6 years, I think ...
