Do you have any more of the singing orchid? Like with the plant? That thing is gorgeous! I am intrigued :)

Amazing pics!

Thanks misskitty :)
Here's a pic of the flower head- it's on the end of a long flower spike- the head is about 3 inches across, unfortunately it got stuck in the fold of a curtain (I hadn't noticed the flower head).

Wonderful shots I like #2 most, the snail in #3 is nice touch. The post processing can be a compromise on flowers, vivided colours which you have to darken down or desaturate to keep in gamut - an excelent balance here.

It was only the camelia I had to play with a bit.
