Tiny Dancers
Especially with a gentle morning breeze.
Caladenia lobata is their scientific name but they are also known as butterfly orchids locally. These were flowering well this year at Mount Barker WA. These flowers are about 75-100mm wide and really quite a stunning sight as they are on stems up to about 700mm tall. This puts them up above low shrubs and grasses. Fill flash from above  Early morning light  Critique most appreciated, Regards Colin

Re: Tiny Dancers
WOW~!!! they look absolutely amazing, mother nature never ceases to surprise.
I really like the colours in both, but the 2nd one really does it for me...the background is less distracting Cameron

Re: Tiny Dancers
Colin, that second one is an absolute cracker... really nice lighting and beautifully composed.
The first one is also great, maybe a little crop to get in closer to the two 'dancers' ?? It is disturbing how much they do look like little dancers! great stuff  gerry's photography journey
No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
Re: Tiny Dancers
Thankyou gents,
I really like morning light. Some of the tones are just so........... I can try a tighter crop Gerry, was trying to give them room to move. Yes Cameron I have issues with my backgrounds a lot of the time, mostly light grey sticks  Regards Colin

Re: Tiny Dancers
Really nice Colin,
the 2nd deserves to be printed and hung somewhere, not only is the background minimal but the light is working nicely on the flower from your chosen angle DebT DebT

You've captured the fragility of these delicate plants beautifully! That's a bloody difficult thing to do. Kudos! Regards

Re: Tiny Dancers
Nicely done Colin. What an uncanny resemblence.
You can easily use a little softbox off camera with a 1/4CTO gel.  Especially since the subject is so small.Clone out that yellow flower though.
Re: Tiny Dancers
Here we are Gerry and Surrenj,
both ideas in one. Do you think this works better?  Regards Colin

Re: Tiny Dancers
