Stanhopea oculata

Smithsonian, Washington DC

Like a Flying Dragon


One o the nice things about being behind is:
When its in the twenties outside and the wind is blowing;
There are pretty pictures taken from a warmer time to finish ;o)

I was actually experimenting with a home made "portable softbox" and some
small flags to achieve the lighting here.
