This is a bit soft Freddie, but otherwise a good orchid picture, with good colors and a pleasant composition. I'm not a big fan of frames, and hate in particular those where parts of the image hang out of the frame. I have actually never seen a photographically outstanding image featuring such frame, which appears quite amateurish to me. But this is certainly a matter of taste. What's up with that purple hue above the flower, along the upper edge!? Is that what you call a neon glow border?

Beautiful orchid, nice colors details and sharpen, nice BG

Rintile

Arrière plan d'un flou de pro. Couleur et netteteté parfait.. Réal.

Nice colorful macro with good details of the flowers. Having the bud over the frame is a nice touch.

Well done.
Reid

Nihal

Lovely, sharp, good job on BG
One remark ( oh yes ... :-) )
I find the BG to intense, to bright.
But hey, I have sensitive eyes ... LOL

Freddie,
Well, I have to hand it to you, this is a very good photo. This is the point where our past differences is outweighed by a good photograph, which is why we use this site, right? I like the shallow DOF and the vibrancy of the colors. The main flowers are a "touch" out of focus, seems like the majority of the focus is in the unopened buds near the bottom.
The Bokeh in the BG is perfect and actually very artistic. I'm not a big fan of borders or frames but this one is subtle enough where I like it. Very well done Freddie.

Hello Fred
