A pretty orchid with dramatic lighting - a bit too dark overall for me.

Creative lighting and nice DOF, but too much contrast to my eye.

Hi

I don't mind the composition and I don't mind the dark surround or the lighting angles, but the with such a look the highlights really need to be controlled looking. Which is imo what lets down an otherwise fine shot. Perhaps a case whereby more flash less ambient would have provided more composition and exposure options

All the best
Matthew

I am ok with the overall lighting. A fine shot.
