OrchidThe ability to see faces and animals in the clouds is a human ability I don’t think any of natures other creatures can do.  We look up at the shifting vapor and imagine all sorts of creatures and things in the ferment of the passing mass.  This tenancy in imagination also can apply to other objects such as rock formations or the patterns on our ceilings.

This image taken of an orchid displays what appears to be the face and wings of a bat.  A very colorful bat, but that’s what I saw when I first opened this photograph.  I like the way the photographer has come in close and eliminated much of the background and even the tips of the orchids peddles.  The bright colors are most interesting.

However I do have one major problem with the image as shown.  It appears to be soft and out of focus.  I think this was caused by too much cropping.  With a micro shot like this we need something within the composition to be crisp in order to keep the viewer’s eye from wondering.
