I would like like to thank Kathy Cline for the use of her OUTSTANDING lens to capture this image.
These orchids were photographed inside a greenhouse, making for superb lighting. I combined 6 exposures in Photomatix, cropped the image in Bridge and a VERY light touch up done in PS CS4.
I would love to own a lens like this!!! Having most of the work, done in camera, is the best!!!
