Actually (I added this as a seperate post for obvious reasons) your pictures are pretty darned good. Lose the black background. It doesn't help except with certain types of exposures. Look for a complementary color background. I use several rolls of flocking in maroon, brown, green, gray and black depending on the subject. Your camera is including all the black in the exposure factor when exposing and altering the exposure incorrectly (well, correctly for the balance it assumed).

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
