Hi everyone; THANK YOU VERY MUCH!Hi Maria, I didn't flip the image upside down. This is the way it was composed in the camera.

Hi Donna,Donna R. Moratelli February 09, 2004
Hi Maria, I don't know them very well at all and I don't know which way is suppose to be up. I just started shooting orchids recently .
It started with a job for the newspaper for the orchid society and I thought that they were a good subject to shoot on the side. I shot this image from above and this is the way it turned out. DOes it really look that bad? I thought it looked like a face. If you use a tripod with a large ball head you can compose a close up to make a flower look like something else and that's what I liked about this image. #369646
