Well worth the effort!It's taken me forever to compose something I like with these orchids:
Chamonix 45n-2
4x5 Fuji Acros
180mm Zeiss Tessar @f/16 for 1 second
Rodinal 1:25 constant agitation for 5 minutes.
I can stare at this picture whole day... wonderful...

Agreed!

Thank you! I don't know why the Orchids were difficult but I have had them for a while and tried several times but came up empty handed. Also I did this one on both Acros and FP4 and the Acros seemed to have better detail/separation. Perhaps it was my development with FP4 but Acros looked better to me after scanning. FP4 looked flatter.

Lovely - nicely done
Orchids are such a pain. It is REALLY hard to get a good composition. You did awesome. The light is also very very nice. The only thing is the tint, not sure about that :S
A couple of prints from last night's carbon printing.
Jim,
The first one has wonderful form and texture.

A couple from this morning. Both with a 90mm Fujinon SW on HP5+. Would like to hear feedback, thanks.
