3rd Entry -- Novice

[dipasquo]

I just started taking orchid pictures, though I suppose I am a beginner+ or intermediate picture taker in general. Attached are two entries. The first is a Ludisia "jewel" orchid I recently received as a gift. The second is, as I recently learned the correct name, Encyclia tampensis.

[kmarch]

I haven't entered the photo comp for some time so I'll have a go this month. Here I'm entering:

1) Paph primulinum (species category)
2) Paph St. Swithin
3) Trio of Paphs (floral arrangement category)

I can't remember what I am....I think I'm "intermediate".
