Very nice picture, K. I agree with Wendy about the perspective-distance thing. If I had to make a decision I think I'd line up in your court. Hope you kept your main credit card at home on the trip to SB or you may have to turn down some of those judging requests due to that second job.

Diana asked if I can still get abpo. I'm off to SB tomorrow so you'll
have to make do with this: Macroclinium lexarzanum Sometimes I take a
digital picture of an orchid in for judging just so I can see how the
colors will show in a picture...if that makes sense to you. Its a trick I
learned from Michael Gallagher. Anyway.....

This one we were trying to decide if a quality award as well as a cultural
award was justified. I thought the color was good enough for a quality.
The others on the team disagreed. It only got a CCE of 90 points.
Macroclinium lexarzanum...... here's the link to the almost award photo.
http://www.csnjc.org/July2008/macroc...exarzanum.html See if you think
the color is better than the previous award. Remember you have to take
the quality of the other award photos (and the subsequent scans) into
account. As well as my pic's quality, LOL!!
