Dracula amaliae

Smithsonian, Washington DC

This dramatic shot is of a backlit dracula.

As I was trying to get a good shot of this spectacular bloom I noticed a nice glow
coming from some backlight. So if a little is nice... I added a flash as backlight only.
I will add the front/sidelit version in the next couple of days as I catch up on
my orchid shots.
In the mean time I've added five other shots to my orchid gallery:

You nailed this one! I see this backlit glow through some of my wifes orchids but I don't always get it just right. This image really inspires me to keep trying with the backlit glow. Voted.
Happy New Year,
Erik
