Blooming Orchid, by photographer John Dunne, of Ireland. He’s got quite a nice portfolio of images too over on his Flickr photostream, so do stop over and give him a little kudos, pat on the back, congratulations, etc. as he’s won the Adobe Lightroom Contest here at Learning Digital Photography! His winning image (surprise surprise) is a blooming orchid, shown below:
Congratulations again to John for this beautiful shot. I know I said it before but it is worth saying again that the decision was a very difficult one to make as there were so many excellent images contributed! Thanks also to the folks over at Adobe for their generous contribution, and to all the participants for making this first contest a huge success!
Happy shooting and we’ll see you back here again tomorrow!
Wow I am honored. This is made all the more exciting when I see the high quality of all the entries. Thanks to Jason and team. I’d also like to thank all your readers who have stopped by my Flickr stream and leave congratulatory comments, they are very much appreciated.
Congratulations John. Wonderful shot and editing. Very well done.
Thanks Kevin
Jason, Lightroom arrived today, taking the wrapper off as I type 🙂 Thanks again
Wow! That was fast – enjoy it in good stead John – you deserve it! 🙂
