Very well done, Mario. The focus stacking has rendered the entire flower sharp and this is an example of the technique being perfectly executed.

Everything is nice--my suggestion is more space for top,and also use dark green leaves of the flower in background.Good luck.

Nice close-up photo of this orchid with well captured details here. Good lighting and nice colors. Black color of background gives a good color contrast here. Well seen and composed photo. Regards, Michal.

Striking. Perfect exposure that contrasts wonderfully with the black background. I feel the cropping is just a little, and I mean just a little, too tight on the left and right borders. Also, compositionally the orchid is place rather centrally and presents very vertical and linear. Along with the slight increased spacing to both borders, you may consider rotating the image so the orchid leans in slightly from the left by rotating the orchid clockwise as few degrees and placing the bottom of the stem closer to the bottom left corner. Very nice shot. >TED

Hi Mario, You presented this interesting orchid very well. Technically speaking it is perfect to me. I like the colours and shapness. The dark BG helps pop up the plant. TFS. Umit
