It was very simple. Just took a picture of it on the windowsill :-)
The window is south-facing, but it was early morning and the sun
hadn't reached round to shine fully into the window but it was bright
enough to back-light it.

I'm uncertain if you're saying that because Seminole never signed a peace 
treaty that they therefore don't have rights to hunt, fish or harvest in 
restricted areas? Are you saying that this scene is completely unrealistic?

Or did you mention the lack of treaty as an interesting bit of information

I definately prefer the second. Thats a pretty good photograph. The 
background is a lot better, and I see an idea behind the composition.
Orchids are nobele plants, and they should be photographed with respect ;-)

To me the first one looks like just another snap of a pretty flower.

 The first is rendered with a reduced saturation and the second in bw.
 I like both renderings but I prefer the low saturation. I would like

 Didn't bring my macro lens, the 16-45 is also performing very nicely in
