 THE IMAGE:Quick Shot, handheld with a 105mm macro as the sun set. My wife has these amazing orchids and they produce the most delicate flowers. Used the incorrect white balance and I like the result

Very interesting Flowers, a few crits, the Center of the flowers are a little too dark could be compensation for the bright white/ blue the flowers giving. and the last petal slightly blown (bottom right). else great detail.

Very nice color and composition. I like the one in the foreground that is in focus and off-center. Your other one isn't overly blurred!
