Anguloa dubia

Anguloa dubia

Last of the abbreviated entries due to this vacation! – Daniel

Many thanks to Andreas from Bogotá, Colombia (aka Quimbaya@Flickr) for today's photograph (BPotD Flickr Group Pool | original image). This orchid was cultivated by Colombian orchid grower Sócrates Forero.

Species in the genus Anguloa are collectively known as the “tulip orchids” – an image search for Anguloa reveals why.

Photography resource link: Compositional Exercise by Paul W. Faust for Nature Photographers Online – suggests a method to practice for improving the composition of your photographs.
