Critique Welcomed It Does Orchids, Too ...

[Keith Hollister]

I normally have a fairly complicated rig for shooting orchids and other exotics at botanical shows with the Nikon, but I was wandering around today and stumbled on an orchid vendor at a little street fair in a local park. Just the Fuji X-E2, 60mm/2.4, no flash. It was a little breezy, so ISO 1600 was required to get the shutter speed up. Probably one of the better orchid shots I've done - goes to show you shouldn't overthink stuff all the time

That is nice Keith and I like the selective focus. A nice gradation.

Thanks.

Gorgeous stuff - those colors!

That 60mm is a treasure

I know - I love how the 60 renders. Since I don't do much portraiture anymore, I'm seriously thinking of canceling my 56mm preorder.

wOw......colour everywhere, love it --- vivid.

Superb floral photo Keith, that would look great on a big canvas hung on a wall.
