This is a beautiful shot of the flower. You have timed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Comment from canon shooter
I have never seen all of these on one stem. Very good setting to get all nice and sharp with great color. I was wondering what it would look like if you used a very light vignette on it?

Comment from supergold
this is a cymbidium hybrid, the easiest orchid to grow; can be grown outside in full sun almost all year round, except if temperature is below 0°celsius;
a beautiful less usual dark color;

isn't that just gorgeous. So many blooms on one stem. The plumb colors are lovely. Focus is sharp where it should be and your techs look great. Don't think i've ever seen this one. Top shot.

reply by the author on 18-Sep-2012

Not to worry, I just figured you meant it was a very straight color :) :)

Comment from Annieboyd
What pretty orchids. Such rich color in these flowers. The field of depth is very nice. The detail in the flowers are nice only thing is I think the focus could be a little shaper.

Very nice. I love the circle composition nothing takes the viewers eye away from the flowers. Nice focus in the front image and color.
