The Montreal Botanical Garden is a large botanical garden in Montreal, Quebec, Canada comprising 75 hectares (190 acres) of thematic gardens and greenhouses. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2008 as it is considered to be one of the most important botanical gardens in the world due to the extent of its collections and facilities

Some Bulbophyllum species attract male fruit flies (Bactrocera spp.) solely via a floral chemical which simultaneously acts as a floral reward (e.g. methyl eugenol, raspberry ketone or zingerone) to perform pollination

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An appealing floral study that meets the challenge.

Your focus is clearly on the flower and your DOF is appropriate and the off-centre composition works well. I see one of your commenters has remarked about over-exposure, persoanlly I think you have taken it just about as far as is acceptable but by doing so you have got better whites with little or no loss of detail, which for me is fine. You do have some chromatic aberration on the white petal, there is green/blue fringe all round the edge, this ought to be rectified in ACR

Please forgive the long delay in this critique, I hope you feel the image and critique are both still relevant, Sid.

The bricks in the background are a nice inclusion. Looks just a bit overexposed for the whites, though.
