Found this orchid while hiking the Kalalau trail:

The trail, in all its mud -oaked rugged glory, was incredible...about this point we turned around and the car wash rain hit. Luckily i was carrying a zip lock baggie for my 5d

Very nice images. I can't tell if you missed focus on shot one or not. It is either a bit hot or just not in focus.... Or maybe you didn't sharpen in PP ?

Image two is very interesting I like the composition. Nice image

I love Kuai but have not been there for almost 15 years. These shots make me want to return sooner than later. Thanks for posting.

Thanks guys...miss the place as well. I think the orchid needs a tad more sharpening; At the time i had one eye on the flower and one on the rain squall moving in

I miss the place too
