Lovely orchid shot. Good detail and composition. Excellent processing!

Wayne:
Lovely orchid and nicely captured. The details and the color are exquisite. The dark bg is excellent for showing off the flower and would prefer the background to be totally dark without the brown support rod or stem showing (in the larger version). Not sure what the bright slit (center lower third) is but would better without it. You may also like to consider cloning out the curve stem at 6 o'clock lower edge as it leads the viewer's eyes out of the frame.

Rich vibrant color Wayne.
I agree with Gary's comments about the stems and support rod but that's easily addressed in PS if you're so inclined.

Wayne: Just a superbly composed shot. There are some artifacts in the lower BG that need to go away but then make it big. Well done.>=))>

Thanks for the comments, that is why I like to post on this site. I missed the support rod, probably because of old eyes.
