Hi Juza. This is great. I especially like the BG. My wife and I have one of these in our living room - our climate prevents growing outside. Your image with a natural green BG with just enough variation to provide interest is very nice. The sharpness of the flower and color saturation add to the overall quality. Good job.

Hello Emanuele,

Great image of this beautiful flower. The crop is perfect for this particular flower. I like the stem entering from the side, well done.

Nice shot Juza! Orchids are one of my favorite flowers to photograph. Spring is not far off here and I'm looking forward to shooting more orchids.
