Another spring-teaser! The Early Purple Orchid [Orchis mascula] is the first of the orchids to flower in the UK. Usually early to mid April. This shot was taken in Green Lane Wood, a Wiltshire Wildlife Trust reserve, this year.

Wonderful clarity and detail, and your DOF was spot on to create some magnificent depth for your image here.

Almost appears 3-D like to this viewers' eyes. And that ... is a high compliment.

Good balance in the overall composition. Well done and thank you for sharing this one.
