That is so well focused on the inside of the orchid. Great camera work, Raj. I like the frame and the blue background. Wonderful post.

A wonderful macro shot for me to keep. So well done, with the framing to add a lot to the photo.

Would call this surprising and good presentation, because of its colours, a Swedish one Raj, lol. The clarity and the details are amazing. Perfect post again. Well done my friend!

To think I once disliked orchids!
You have converted me.
The inner beauty of this bloom is wonderful.

Very good camera technique and use of lighting Raj makes for a beautiful study of this young flower.

You have added to my idea of orchids being mysterious flowers. Such a tiny one this is, but you photographed it well and drew our attentions with the background and complimentary frame.

Don't think I have ever seen a closeup of an orchid quite like this one. Beautiful. I would have cloned out that little bud.

Very creative! I like how you centered the flower and curved the stem with the blue background
