Orchid Angel

As I noted recently, orchids are a slipperly slope and tender trap. I went to Berkeley Hort with my Lens Baby macro setup, and had fun photographing orchids. These photos are all with my Lens Baby 2.0, various macro magnifications, the f/5.6 aperture ring, handheld at about 1/125 of a second. I used the f/5.6 aperture ring to get a reasonable sized sweet spot.

The photo above reminds me of an angel. In contrast, this one makes me think of alien eyeballs:

This one is a heart, or maybe a little devil:

This one might be a tongue and mouth, or maybe it is just plain weird and beautiful:
