Alex, it is not wild orchid. This is simply the common roadside weed, the Common Asystasia, which can be found everywhere in Singapore.

Back to your photo, I find two subjects being focused in your photo, since you titled your shot as a flower shot, I will then find that the sharp young shoot is quite distracting here and trying to draw my attention from the flower to the young shoot.

Just my 2 cents worth, hope you don't mind.
 

point noted

btw thank for the info on the flower, you mean that this is not an orchid?
At least it's wild, so half correct. hehe
 

The correct name for this weed is Asystasia gangetica. Definitely not Orchid because it grows on the soil while Orchid not.
 

Hey, ortega, i think i took a picture of the same flower too. Just that didnt managed to capture a colored blackground (mine came out black), and colors abit dull :'( (may post on a thread later once i play around with the ps.. =X)

Yes, have to agree that the young shoot is vieing for attention, but at the same time, brings out a second dimention to the picture itself.
