Beautiful subtle colors of pinks and yellowsin the petals. Focus is goood though perhaps a slightly deeper dof would give more clarity.
I think if possible I would includ the tips of the top petals It's just very crowded in the frame. But lovely capture.

Lovely close up of the beautiful orchid - yes, it does look as if it's mirrored. I like the angle you used for this, filling the frame.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent clarity. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Comment from Marilyn J. Brown
Such loveliness is displayed here in this orchid. You are quite right in the effectiveness of the perfect seeming-reflection of the flower behind. It's quite a clever study for that reason.

Comment from Photography byTrixie
Impact 5 color 5 lighting 5 technical 5 technique 5 creative composition and good depth of field. I know there are hundreds of orchids and many we never see i the United States but this looks so much like a "Jack -in-the-box" that used to grow wild without the additional four leaves wonder if they are the same family - great picture
