The white orchid is well focused and the composition is very nice against the light green background. The texture of the petals shows up well. Good handling of exposure. :) Mary

A beautiful image with exquisite detail in the orchids and very fine colors. I like the cropping and the background flourishes. Best of luck in the contest.

I love this vaguely familiar background. A gorgeous backdrop to your exquisite white orchids and "aprepo " title. I can almost FEEL the petals and love the soft powder blue, faintly making an appearance. A perfect coupling to the swirling sheers crossing over, behind them. LOVE!

So well done. The flowers are perfection with texture and shadow. The background is perfect for the image. After photo effects are superb. A pleasure to view ~ Steve

Well done, good bokeh, great contrast, good clarity, did you create the background or how did you do it if you don't mind telling. Well done

The whites have it. Stunning cluster of orchids. The drape and diagonal display fills the scene very well. The post production work gives this scene a wonderful DOF. The background color helps pop the white blooms. Good Luck in the contest.
