A red Orchid

The spring is too a wild orchid found in the grass. This Orchys Purpurea tells the truth specially when looking at the transparencies of its sepals..

Back lit early in the morning. I am posting the first photo taken with my new Nikon.

D850, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/20 and ISO 65

Always very glad for your opinions and advices.
