During a very windy day we dedicated our attention to some orchids at home. This is a particular of Oncidium Cebolleta.

Thanks for looking

D&L: Marvelous subjects and nicely arranged in the frame. The main flower looks just a touch soft but I'm not sure if its a DOF or a processing issue. Nice find and a fine capture. >=))>

Good looking image you guys. I like the composition and I particularly like the bg and flares.

In this image, the atmosphere created by the background stirs the imagination. I see two Siamese dancers. May it be? I like the image for the emotion that arouses and for the depth.

Quite a nice image overall, but the sharpness does seem to be a bit lacking in the left bloom. Otherwise the colors and the bokeh make this very pleasing . . . I'd clone or crop out that bit of yellow from another blossom that is intruding at the very bottom of the frame.

Very enjoyable vision here in front of my tired eye. Lots of great comments already, and can't think of anything else to add. Thanks for the treat of fancy, colorful flora.

What great flowers! The oof bg is beautiful and sets these flowers off nicely. I agree with Phil's crop/clone suggestion for the bottom. Well done!
