Withered Beauty 2 is a followup to Macro Monday – Withered Beauty. The same bloom, but shot in a little closer. The image set up was simply a strong light to the right and a little behind the orchid along with a white card to the left front to reflect a little light back to the front. The image was made with seven bracketed shots processed as HDR to help control the extreme dynamic range caused by the intense light and the black background.

Wow, lighting, colors and texture…all wrapped up in this shot. Beautiful.
Thanks Randall. Haven’t done much macro but am enjoying it.
Another stunning photo, Ron!
Thanks Cathy and thanks for your visit.
Looks like Tiffany glass.
I hadn’t thought of that. Have you ordered your macro lens yet? Thanks for your comment Lynn.
really lovely color and texture!
Thank you Laurie. Have you tried photographing any roses after they have died and dried?
I agree with Lynn’s comment (wouldn’t have thought of it myself). It does have that almost iridescent glow of Tiffany glass. Beautiful!
Thanks Carol. Time for more macro!
I have always adored this color combination – so beautiful! Lovely work.
The colors are what enticed me to make the image too. Thanks for visiting.
