What a lovely scene of this Cattleya orchid. I really love the balance of your presentation and framing plus the dark background really made your exotic subject to stand out. The colors and vibrancy of the petals appears genuine resulting from right exposure and white balance control setting. Framing placement is superb with sufficient breathing room on each sides. You've nailed this shot, Michele. This image deserves to be on the wall because it is so uplifting and refreshing.

You bet. You have improved a lot. Keep shining. Next time an image like this should be reserved for the contest. A stellar!

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of your beautiful bloom. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!

I wonder what your real name is, I think orchid is your last name This is a great photo of your orchids, and the flowers go with the background. Keep up the great work, and keep posting!
