A kind of Lady's Slipper Orchid. Shot indoors in a Bonsai Exhibition. The owner of this plant kindly consented to move this to a better place for me to photograph. I am thankful to him for allowing me to do so.

ND810, AFD200mm F/4, f/22, 2 Secs, ISO200, Tripod and MLU.

LARGE VERSION <--- Link to Large version.

Thanks a lot for your comments on White Aster and let me know what you think of this one.

Just spectacular Ram! Great lighting and stunning detail. Very nice. The large version should not be missed. No nits, it's perfect.

Whoa. Great details Ram. I love the attitude of the bloom - tilted slightly to the left. That was great of the owner to move it for you! Nice, nice work. (Also, if you look close, you can see a face in the bloom :smile:).
