im totally blown away by this shot it's truly excellent ... well done
i have to agree that the orchid is the queen of the flowers
beautiul shot 10/10 and in my faves
Excelent color contrast, one of the best flower pictures i have seen because first off the flower is beautiful, the picture is sharp and clear and the color contrast with a background makes it a 10 for me great work.
Exquisite detail, color, texture capture & background to show off the Queen of all flowers. Thank you Pierre for the Mother's Day wish. How warm & wonderful of you to remember us Mom's ...you are a gentleman & a friend. :)

If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.
i had never realized that the orchids were so beautiful... i must agree.. it sure is a queen. :) and this shot is astonishing! all those details and colours, i give up, orchids are my favourite flowers from now on!! :) i'm speechless, pierre.. :o)
and it reminded me of my mother.. it was posted on mother's day.. and my father bought a bouquet of orchids for her on their wedding day, so she always says that she adores orchids.. now i know that they *are* strikingly beautiful... so is this image... marvellous!
i think that this is my favorite orchid picture. i love the deep rich colors, especially the green background. and the angle and framing is perfect too. love it, great work! ~abby
