Thank you, Cindy and Steve. I have lots of orchids, but these are one of my favorites. I am always thrilled when they bloom again. Thanks for the feed-back on your new macro lens, Steve. I am hoping to get one soon. I am looking forward to seeing what you can do with yours.

Superb set of orchid shots, Marsha. The burgundy against the lemon yellow is a striking colour combination. You asked about my new macro lens. It's a bit early days to give a definitive answer, but so far I'm very happy with it. As with all sensors with high megapixel counts, my D200, and I suspect your D80, gives results that look a bit soft at first, and they need some judicious sharpening during post-processing to really look their best. Let's put it this way, I won't be sending it back! Steve

They are so lovely with soft gentle colours.
