Quite an old shot, but still interested to know if there's room for improvement, Cropping and composition wise.

Taken with natural lighting and background.

I really like this. It's done very nicely. I'd probably would've tried to frame it slightly more to the right and have a little more of the flowers below, but that's really just a personal thing.

good actually. Nice light.

But the usu "prob" with orchid is the labellum or the lip. Always in the shadows. So either you reflect light into it, or do some dodging in photoshop. Or so thats what I prefer, cos the lip and column normally are the most interesting parts of the orchid.
