Nice focus and lighting! Can you possibly take another shot when those two other bulbs blossom?

This is well nothing can discribe the beauty of this orchid. Great job on the lighting and the detail. Makes a wonderful desktop. Yes please take anouther shot when the other buds are open if you can.

WOW! What color on those orchids. I have never seen anything like it before.

So many varieties of this flower! Never seen this one before and you've given us a gorgeous view. Almost as if you carried the sunshine around in your pocket to guarantee the best lighting.

Wow Pierre! such beauty in this flower..imagine a flower looking like a leopard skin! How beautifuly!! ITs just fantastic you were able to capture this on a photo...I love it! and i like the dark background...it shows up the orchid so well....thank yu so much my friend And I am so happy you were able to get to the orchid show!! I wish you well!!

Thank you.. You have added another wonderful orchid to my collection.. Waht a rare beauty..

These are a fun bunch. Orchids never cease to amaze me with their vast array of colors and styles. I also admit to being tickled everytime you post a floral. ;) I like what the light did for the main blooms and I like how you balanced the composition out with the buds though they are quite bright on the top.

Such detail and sharpness. You really are a wizard with these orchids. I like the use of "negative space". It really makes the subject snap to the viewers attention and leaves no doubt as to the subject. They can't get any better than this. 10 by me.

Hey Pierre , you have produced another beauty , amazing detail and the lighting tops it of .

Pierre its a rare BEAUTY and what a detail. Thanks.

Wow beautiful flower, great shot. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing flower and a superb composition and light.

Hi Pierre, my, this image is positivly stunning in it's beauty! Your skills as a photographer have made it one of the very best! I love the colors, clarity and of course the enhancement of the dark background! Do you grow orchids Pierre? Nice work!! Sincerely, Marilyn

After the visit (see the comment above), my wife bought some orchids and I must say I often look at them. Thanks Marilyn :-)

Makes a beautiful desktop.

what a beautiful shot of the orchid itself - faultless
and beautifully composed l ines

I like the hint of green behind it on the left and Im wondering if it would contextualise slightly differently if there was a substantial bit of green in the background ie its not merely a flower head floating in space

I didn't know there were flowers like that! It's amazing.

What a pretty orchid! I absolutly love these little flowers very delicate and beautiful
