Orchid 2 and Orchid 3 are very good, especially the latter as the light
amount of shadow highlights the texture of the flowers. The backlighting of
Orchid 1 highlights the veining of the petals, but some minor fill flash
projected from the lower left or bottom would overcome the harsh graduation of
the shadows and bring out the textures.
