Moth Orchid Flower Contre-Jour

by prsjnb

A practice shot taken with a newly acquired K-3iii and an old, but recently cleaned and serviced, Pentax-A 50mm f/1.4.

The 'bird-like' appearance of the anther head when seen close up was, to me at least, a striking and unexpected surprise.

Cropped, but otherwise unedited, In camera JPEG.

That blue background really pops the orchid. Lighting is excellent. Like.
