Stunning! Detail in the column and labellum is excellent. Also like the soft focus on the outer edges of the petals and the soft bokeh.

That's a beautiful floral, I think the deep fuschia or purple really works well for this. The subtle outline and tad of orange add a special touch.

How striking! My favorite hotel to photograph in Estes Park is the one that inspired Stephen King to write the Shining when he got stranded there one New Year's Eve. This one actually fits the part even more than the real one :) Kudos to you for such exquisite lighting. Perfect detail in all the parts, and not a trace of over-exposure in the lights. You are THE BOMB!

Surpasses the threshold of white in certain areas on my monitor, nonetheless a magenta masterpiece.
