Description
Every January, to brighten the gloomy and rainy weather we have in New Orleans, I have a faithful orchid which finds this time to burst forth with a wonderful spray of blossoms. The remaining months of the year it hibernates, but what a joy to see it come to life when all the other plants outside are sleeping. On this particular day, I especially appreciated the backlighting of the late afternoon sun as it turned the petals into a translucent collection of gossamer shapes.

Cheri, Just paid a surprise visit to 25 of your great photos in your gallery but this one stuck out to me even though there were other ones I wanted to comment on, but I guess I can always come back, I love the fantastic details that you have captured on the pedals of this great floral shot. Along with the great detail of the buds. The photo has such remarkable clarity to it that it makes the colors even more vibrant and just jump right off the screen at you. I love when you can see the details in the pedals of a flower so clearly like you can here. Excellent floral photo, voted, favorite, google and FB promoted and voted and favorite an additional 24 from the Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery Surprise a Member thread
Cheri Randolph replied:
Thanks, John. It is always flattering when another artist selects my work to spotlight. I am grateful and very appreciative of your support, and glad that you enjoyed this one in particular because it was captured in my house of an orchid that I've had for years, which keeps producing these lovely blossoms. Thanks again!
