I appreciate the nice comments on this photo. I was trying to create the shallowest DOF that I could and still show the essence of the orchid. I'm glad some members saw what I was going after :)

This is one of my favorite photos. You've manage to capture the simplistic beauty of this orchid. Great angle, color composition and light.

Great capture for this challenge. I love the sharp petal edges giving way to softness.

Nice job!
The other petal in the bottom right has a part in focus also and I think it might distract some people.
