Thanks Geoff...Yes..I was thinking of that too but I cropped the other other closer as I did photographed it closer than the other one. They are two different shots and although I find #1 atrocious in the background I uploaded it for the composition. I agree about the crop...
Thank you for the follow-up comment...I still have the orchid in question and I will just practice different angles instead of one...will be going out tomorrow so if that orchid will survive another day, I will do another shoot and see how I go...
