Comment by Mousie:
I love orchids! The framing is uncomfortable on this, though... I would have tried a horizontal composition.

Well lit. Bits of the flower are chopped from the frame. Taken from a different angle, or at a different time of day may have sorted out the busy background.

good clarity...I'm glad you didn't worry about getting the entire subject in the shot...a nice picture!

no, no, not just another flower shot to be whatever you want it to be. Red, curves, nature.....not original enough as a straight shot like this.

nice shot, I know there are a few who will say they don't like the flower shots, but I love flower shots! Nice color and texture, I feel you captured the theme well. The only flaws are a little out of focus at the top and the framing is a little off. I would have had more of the flower showing on the top and right side. Plus maybe a little more blur to the background.

A shallower depth of field would improve this image to me. That would put the background out of focus a bit and could be accomplished with a lower fStop (aperature.)
