Today I noticed that the top blossom appeared to have its arm around the lower blossom. A few days ago another blossom had fallen, and so I thought it looked like one flower was trying to comfort the other. I placed the fallen blossom on the foliage to give the feeling of loss.
Update: This was on display at the Boca Raton Museum of Art during July and August 2010.

Companion piece called Grief that I took a couple of years ago.

I thought this was very touching, very poignant, and it did remind me of your other shot, though at the time I didn't connect the two. Beautifully lit, beautifully photographed. I think you more than accomplished what you set out to with this one.
wow, those are the craziest orchids. they look so exotic compared to what grows around here. great job portraying both their fragility and their resilience-9
