Cymbidium Hybrid

Smithsonian, Washington DC

I've been up to my eyeballs working on a presentation I'm supposed
to give next weekend at a local orchid forum, so please bear with
my apperent absence. I haven't forgotten my commitment to PaDing ;0)
This is a shot I took yesterday at the Smithsonian's "cymbidium"
greenhouse. Right now they are displaying a large number of their orchids
at the Annual Orchid Show at the US Botanical Gardens. So if anyone is in
town I highly recommend a morning at the USBG, the pictures should be superb.

Nikon D200 ,Nikkor 105mm f/2.8D AF Micro
1/180s f/11.0 at 136.9mm (actually two stitched photos for better resolution) full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

These Cymbidiums are so delicate looking, but I know they last a long time. Gorgeous shot, soft pastel colors& great DOF! Love the clarity ;)
