This is a beautiful orchid and you have captured its beauty and uniqueness in this photo. I love orchids but I do not have any red ones. This one is very beautiful. Great detail.

I try not to use flowers for a color contest[only because there are enough flower contests on here] that aside it does look an interesting flower but its not sharp which had it been so could have been even better...Brian

Very different colors in this. The details are really nice as are the colors, they really stand out. Looks like a orchid first glance, then I read the title lol. Nice presentation, thanks for sharing.

The texture in this close-up shot of the flower is phenomenal â€" the layers create such richness, and the way the colours interact brings a mesmerising vibrancy. Well done! Good luck!

Well captured Orchid with pattern on front petals that resemble a pansy. I love the crimson red color and the white detail also appreciate the clear contrast definition of the center detail.
Well focused, this image is clear and your exposure is correct.
The colors and tones appear natural.
I like the supporting greenery and the way it acts as framing in the lower portion of the flower.
Well composed and presented!
Best wishes to you in this contest!
