This is so dark, the light is so gentle, even minimal. It could be a detail from a Renaissance painting. Red orchids are unusual. They show up well against that dark emerald BG. I don't know why you left all the noise in, but it works for me kind of like extra humidity in the air & makes them even more exotic. Good job! Please accept this Gilded Lily along with my admiration for a beautiful photograph.

The light balls in the background give interest to it while not taking away from the parrot.

Unusual flowers nicely composed with good low key presentation, though I find the white z on the stalk quite distracting but hope you do well with it

Always fun to see a handmade ornament. This one has a busy background for competition, but still, it's a fun piece.
