The image is shot with the camera on tripod, with a dark blue fleece sheet as a background, and with light from a desk lamp coming from behind/the side.
Post editing: crop, auto levels, cloned away som spots and distracting elements on the flowers, unsharp mask, NeatImage.

Sharp details of the orchid flowers. I like the lighting which shows off the translucent properties of the petals. Also, the orchids that face the bottom of the frame could use some light from the bottom to show off details. The short stalk near the top and the fact that the rest of the plant is missing is odd. I think it would have looked better with the supporting stalk running to the edge of the border rather than have the flowers floating in air.
