Title: orchid close-up
Post by: wmchauncey on September 03, 2014, 04:28:42 pm

Haven't stopped by for a while, here's two versions of the same orchid but...one's a mirror image as John Paul Caponigro is fond of doing. What say you all?

Axial symmetry is astounding isn't it?

Both are fantastic and the non-mirrored one almost looks like the mirrored image, there's very little difference at first glance.
Well done!
