I have now edited, and made improvements to this image, re the suggestions below.
I hope you like it as much as I do.
This is my favorite orchid, that my brother gave me for my birthday in 2004. It always seems to flower a week before my birthday. I love this orchid, and every time I see it, it reminds me of my brother. My birthday is on the 14th June.
Great bright colors! I'll bet this will make a beautiful print. I like the composition with the length of the proportions emphasizing the three flowers.
Lovely color and focus on these three. I agree about the background and shadows. You could try cloning the shadows out (I did it on some of my clown SPs) - it's a pain in the ***, but I was surprised at how much better it looks when it's done. ;-) It's a great shot as is, so either way you win.
Thanks so much Tim for your suggestion..... I have improved the section you spoke about, so hope this meets with your approval.... Thank you so much.

Another great flower pic Shez. The lighting may be a tad harsh (blown out just a bit onthe top of the middle flower) and the shadows behind are a bit strong. I think Art has it right on how to correct that. But you do take great plantlife shots.

Wow! Vivid color and tack sharp! The background is too close causing the cast shadow. Take it outside and shoot it in front of the sky or some distant trees or greenery. Very nice though!
