Excellent use of the LED, Alberto. Very effective. Evocative mood with the dark bg and waterdrops and nice light on the orchid. Well done.

You seem to specialize towards the dark side Albert.. And it works very well, this is an outstanding image.

Next time I want to see someting bright & vibrant, that speaks to a new sun sunshiny day.,

What do you say?  Well donedevil

Alberto - Nostrils of an Alien/Humanoid came to mind laugh

Very nice mood here and I like "mystery feel" in the photo.

Really interesting abstract look to an orchid.  Almost resembles a mega insect.  Beautiful focus and droplets another plus.
