Great you returned a bit on flowers, so wonderful item with absolute clarity and sharpness - nice that there are open flowers and closed buds - a very beautiful frame letting the flowers fall diagonally through the picture - very nice composition, perfect contrast and lovely presentation

Oh my goodness. What a tremendous shot. I so love the background here and it just makes the flowers pop off even more. The clarity is unbelievable. Outstanding composition. Excellent photography.

Lovely orchids which are presented well, the branch reaching across the frame, giving us a good view of two in bloom and two buds.
Like the composition, the amount of space that surrounds them.
They are well separated from the backround with your good settings.
Focus is good, especially with nice definition to petal edges.
Although the overall shape of these orchids is lovely, and that seems to be what the picture is about, I think that if you have taken at a slightly different angle, showing the centers better, perhaps using a tripod for a super sharp focus, that you might go from a pretty photo, to one with even more impact. Just some thoughts.
Lovely amount of light.

Beautiful flower and you did an excellent job in capturing the detail and texture. The beautiful vivid color of the orchids and the background blend nicely.

Very pretty orchid which looks like a moth orchid. Gorgeous magenta colours in this particular variety. Like your framing and perspective with the bloom filling most of the frame. Focus is spot on. Nicely blurred background too.

The orchid is beautiful. The photo is excellent. I don't know much about caring for orchids but I must find out. I would love to get some of these pretty flowers myself.
