I think the overall soft look works well, with the "center piece" FG a great focal point for your head-on look at this beauty. Well done..
And you can tell your wife I really like her prize orchid too Rick :smile:
Have a great weekend :wavey:

I like the title and the comp. These are difficult to compose, but this works well.
