Wonderful colors and composition Miro. I only wish for a little more room on the bottom and right side.

Nice shot. I will second Robert's comments. It's easy to add a small amount of canvas. :toast:

Hi Miro :wavey: Well composed, with excellent color and detail :jump: I too would add canvas to the bottom. Thanks for sharing this magnificent bloom :cool: :smile:

Interesting blossom, nice find. I think the spot of yellow is the focal point so I'm not at all bothered by the tightness of the lower right corner. The larger version shows some strange artifacts around the transition from yellow to purple. I'm not sure what's causing that.

Many thanks for all comments & suggestions. I've allowed more room on bottom/right. See repost. :confused:

Miro, What a beautiful looking Orchid :cool: - I like how you decided to use the diagonal for the composition. These are extremely challenging flowers to shoot.

I like the repost but it still could use some more room, I think but the repost is a definite improvement.
