Hi Carolina- this is awesome! You captured these orchids beautifully, very nice work :) #555454Carolina K. Smith May 22, 2004
Thank you Casey! This is the 1st orchid plant I've owned. Took this a few weeks ago, and the flowers still look just as great (long lasting). #555479Diane Addonizio May 22, 2004

I do not think I have seen solid white orchids before. You sure have captured them beautifully. Great exposure and lighting. #555572Cora Miller May 22, 2004

These truly are fabulous Carolina, nice capture! #555669Carolina K. Smith May 23, 2004
Thank you Diane, Colette, Darren, Cora, and Dale Ann !Darren, I bought the orchid at Frank's Nursery (they might be a national chain), I guess I was fortunate to get solid white :).
I spent the last couple of weeks paring down the mask (just about pixel by pixel, lol) so that there could be maximum contrast between the black background and the white petals. Glad you like it :) #556469

Thank you so much, Kelly, Donna, Stanley, Terry, and Cathy!!I am excited to have a finalist photo and be among such a talented and warm group of photographers :)
