Comment from Phyllis Marconi
This is a beautiful specimen and you have captured the details very nicely, well focused. The dark background works very well, really makes the flowers pop.

This flower orchid really looks something and adding the black background has made this even better the color so blends with the black in this and detail is spot on....Brian

This is a beautiful portrait of your orchids.However I think that the solid black background doesn't do them justice. Technically, it is a lovely composition that has nice, sharply focused images, stunning color, interesting subject matter and good placement of focal point.

Comment from Len Shood
A nice shot. I confess I know nothing at all about orchids my knowledge being limited to poppies, roses and dandelions. Personally I think the background lacks 'personality', it's just a bit too black. Have you thought about using off camera flash close to the flower. This will darken the background significantly while leaving it with just a bit of character thanks to the inverse square law.

Comment from Jack Moore
I keep looking at these and I like the way that they look like they have faces, I don't know that much about orchids but these are really beautiful. I think that also the dark background really makes these stand out, the focus is great and I also like how the green stands out also. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing. JackJr.

When I see pictures like this, I think that Spring cannot come fast enough (even though I love Winter). This is an excellent capture of these Cattleyas! Thank you for sharing!

Great shot here Michele of this Purple Cattleya. Great colours and exposure. Good focus, texture and clarity with a black background to make the flowers pop. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)
