Hi

A nice frame filling composition and the lighting upon the subject looks good - personally I'd wonder why not stopped down further, more DOF would not imo hurt the look, while it may have increased the appeal

All the best
Matthew

I agree about the DOF, but a good shot of an interesting orchid and you have to like the title.

I'll give it a go at around f/11 and see how it impacts the image. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for viewing.
Cheers

Fine composition and a pretty frilled bloom. I agree with Matthew that stopping down (or choosing an angle that favors the frill on the right side) would make this even better.

So much of interest in orchids, such a fascinating subject and good advice from Matthew and Tom to enhance an already nice image.
