Lovely detail shot! I just wish there was a little more depth of field available... I might be tempted to rotate it a little bit clockwise to straighten it a little too!

Beautyfull macro shot of a great subject! Intrigant, because you have to explore it to see what really is.
If you allow me to make a suggestion, would say that you could improve it even more cutting the picture so the center to be right in the middle.
I'll post a WS. Regards

Good illustration of the sensual symmetry often attributed to orchids...dazzling colors.

Pretty framing, too not centered it seems to me but pretty color.

Very original as photo. This intimate detail is magnificent with well returned colours. For me, it is a great image.

Very beautiful shot !!! the colors are absolutly great !! I'm kind of shooting flowers' heart, and I find this one marvellous ! The dof is not badly choosen, maybe I would have center the heart to make a symetrical picture...

Most beautiful, seems really almost extraterrestial, eobiology is needed to understan this beauty.
Perfect in colors and shaps, also superb light, details and definition.
Good idea, keep on!

Really nice macro shot.
I like the colours and the idea.
as it is said I would have appreciated a more DOF.

Very nicely done Ken, it's hard to find something new with florals but somehow this manages to look very fresh, almost has a sense of looking at a snowy scene with colourful detail to contrast. There's also a great depth as the eye travls down the centre, almost like tonsils in the way!

Magnifique. Le coeur de la fleur aurait mérité d'ętre un peu plus grande sur la photo. Mais pas beaucoup plus ! elle attire naturellement le regard vers elle.

Very beautiful. I love the exposure on the white petals. You captured it perfectly. Very well done.

Amazin sharpness and detail of that macro!!!
Very beautiful. Alittle more information about this lincoln park would have been great to make this pic more one of trekearth and less of treklens or treknature.
I have similar pics from the botanical garden of Rio.
