orchidea

a beautiful shot!! very nice lighting. congrats

Charming  composition. The softness, light and the clarity is unique. Nicely framed and presented. Like it.

Thanks for sharing. All the best. Regards.

So beautiful!  Excellent presentation.

I agree with Dominick, gorgeous photo!

Beautiful! The dark background makes it stand out almost like a hologram. Very nice lighting.

Ziko,  really like the lighting here, find your border boxes in your iris and makes it feel confined. where did the name orchidea come from?

Amazing DOF and details Ziko in this excellent floral macro.....

but the strongest points IMO are the well written velevet like texture of the petals and the beautiful rich purple tones.....

The vantage dark b/g makes the presentation impressive.....

Warm season’s greetings my friend.

Bravo!

irises are difficult to photograph. they do not have a nicely compact and consistent shape. finding the right angle to shoot them is not easy. lighting and details are superb also.
