Taken at the Denver Botanical Gardens, I liked the mottled light that was striking this plant. It also helped create some rather rich colors in post processing, as well.
Unfortunately, the plant wasn't identified...so does anyone have a clue what it may be?
This is one I definitely will be printing, so I would appreciated any critiques.

This is a really sweet capture, Ken. Love the darkness surrounding the nicely lit flowers. My only suggestion might be to darken the leaf somewhat in the lower right corner, as it grabs the eye a little. This should make a really fine enlarged print!

Beautiful! It may be a Cattleya type of orchid. The flowers look similar. There are many varieties. I love orchids and the colors on this one are exceptional. Nice capture!

Yes, definitely an orchid of some type. I would have no idea of the species. I agree with John about the petal on the lower right corner. As much as I am not a fan of vignette, it might solve it easy and quick.

For those botanists in the group, I found out this was a dendrobium angel flower.
