an excellent macro capture of the center of this pink phalaenopsis hybrid; very nice colors, especially the dark marking on the lip; pin sharp focus;

It is a wonderful contest entry and truly, an extraordinary work. The close up detail and clear, sharp focus are just magnificent. Positioned perfectly in the frame. An impressive work.

The viewers mind opens to many possibilities in this exquisite piece. Great color contrasts and depth. A very sensual and alluring portrait.

Would love to know the name of the orchid, but since you´re working only with visual images, I guess it wasn´t included in notes. Anyway, stunningly lovely specimen. It looks like a two-headed mother nurturing her child. maybe a space alien? :) good work, good clarity, good contrast, good saturation.

This is a Doritaenopsis orchid. I actually had to look it up. When I by Orchids I don't always pay attention to their names. Thanks a lot for the review.

Comment from suzannethompson2
Great entry for the contest. I like how you filled the frame with this lovely close up of the beautiful orchid's inner part, looking like a little angel. I like how you've shown all the intricate twists and curls in the petals.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent clarity. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

My first impression is like looking down the throat of a beautiful angel with a doctor's scope. This is a very imaginative and thought provoking shot.
