Right, thats the name of this Orchid  :lol:

This was shot indoors at a Bonsai Exhibition. Might have benefitted from a CPL to tame some reflection from overhead lighting on reflective surface of the Orchid.

As always all your thoughts are much appreciated.

Gorgeous flower, well-composed, pretty angle in the frame.

A diffuser is another aid for reflections like these - but I don't think they are much of an issue in this image.

Very impressive flower beautifully captured, the white background works very well. Congrats on the new camera. :)

Nicely done. Pretty flower. The BG works well and the details pop out.

Hi

A super shot of a cool orchid - and a decent image for an exhibition shot, normally such images show all kinds of clutter


All the best
Matthew
