what a great view of the centre of this orchid. great exposure and focus showing fine detail inside the orchid.. the colours are stunning as they splay out from the deep dark central part of the flower.. an excellent view of the intricacies of nature. well captured and a pleasure to review. cheers mel

Cool,Grace!
Orchids certainly are exotic looking flowers,aren't they?
And your photo of the 'innards' of this blossom present us with a wonderfully 'out of the ordinary' ( and strikingly colorful! ) image indeed! : )

lovely colours and patterns
in this macro of the orchid,
nice depth of field in the very centre, I like the close up filling the frame with a different perspective. I look forward to seeing the others. well done.

The friendly ghost at the core waiting for some visitors!

Excellent choice of subject in Vanishing viewpoint.
Great depth created by the Diminishing perspective.
Harmonious complementary colors.
Selective focusing with the centermost feature being the sharpest!

Thanks for sharing...

A very nice closeup with good composition and sharp details. I love the colors and think a project like this is a wonderful challenge that keeps your eyes sharp and your mind clear.
