Phal bloom.

[AeroSmith]

100 macro and 1DsII on a tripod. Second year in a row I've gotten this plant to bloom. No small victory. I think the bokeh makes the background look painted.

f/9; 1/10; ISO 500.

Beautiful, I take it "Phal" is the name of the orchid.

Thank you very much.

Yes sir, this is a Phalaenopsis orchid bloom.

Nice shot, Orchids are great flowers, and hard to look after and get to bloom (so I've heard) so congrats on that feat as well

Nice shot, it looks hand painted.

You can count the number of blades in your lens with the background :-) The background looks great.
