There is a tad blown highlight in the petals but they are white!

Orchid pop out
Took this shot of a neighbour's orchid and turned it into a "pop out"

Hi Sheila,
I have absolutely loved your work so far (and have commented as much) but this one unfortunately doesn't do it for me. Like you said, highlights blown-out a bit, a bit too contrasty/shadowy and slightly soft. Would have been good with diffused lighting, but thats not always possible. Like what you were trying to achieve with 'pop out', though. Cheers Michael
Oh, well, back to the drawing board

I think the concept does work.
I believe that the blown highlights are what kills this shot. If the orchid wasnt brilliant white or the highlights weren't blown. worth continuing with! steve check out my image gallery @

Another suggestion on pop-outs is to add a drop shadow - this will make it pop in a more 3D way

Try changing the matt board from black to very light gray...or some other colour. Then I think it will work much a lot better. Regards
