This is a picture of my first orchid of the season. I took the picture late in the afternoon on my patio. The sun was setting behind me and the orchid was facing the setting sun. The flower appears "backlit" because the light was reflecting off the patio walls onto the back of the orchid. I have a photo gallery at http://www.amybecerraphotography.com/, please drop by and have a look! All my pictures are copyrighted and not for reprint, thank you.
