Hi Michele, what a beautiful orchid and it does look like a pansy, a deep red one with white adornment. Your orchids are so beautiful what a great hobby you aare involved in. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

Hi Michele, I've seen these flowers but never knew what they were. You captured a nice shot of this one. There is a slight blur but the flower is still gorgeous! Love the way you framed it. Not a bad shot! Good Luck in the RED contest! :o) Nancy

Wow! This is definitely a perfect contribution to the color red contest! I have never seen this kind of flower before, but it reminds me of the iris. Very lovely and you have captured it well.

such a lovely entry for this Color Red Photo Contest. Great focus, angle, and exposure setting. You've really showcased the red petals and the patterns and design in it. The colors appears to genuine, too.

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
