the glow that seems to emanate from the flower petals really makes this image pop

Very pretty. I love the soft spot of lighting on the petals.

I do like this version and would most probably like a lighter version just as much. Nice use of dof paired with great composition :)

Orchids are fascinating. But I never know how to "see" them. You have found a wonderful way, and not just because I really like the dark tones...

You teach me that low key, low contrast images are worthy of some research and require skill in executing. The subtle hint is often longer lasting than the overt, I have always suspected.

I marvel at how you can make a photograph feel so soft.

I like the darkness and the the subtle lighting... it makes for an interesting composition.

Nice compositon and I like teh lighitng on the flower but will agree with some others that it seesm it could be a bit brighter on the flower.

I like the overall darkness all the little things to discover in the darker areas. A bit more light on the darker part of main flower may even it out a bit.

I like the softness and the dark. Wish for more light into the mouth of the flower. A flashlight might help on a photo like this. Nice comp. LG

Great lighting for me. I like this photo a lot. As your eyes adjust to the darkness of the photo, more and more is revealed

i like it, i only wish it was a little brighter

I dig Orchids ...and the creepier the cooler. Reminds me a little of the movie Adaptation.

Looks like a baby bird opening his mouth to be fed. Either it is the light coming through my window or the brightness could be brighter on the picture. Will have to view it at night.

Beautiful! I like the placemtment of the main flower on the right, and how it fades to bokeh on the far left. Personally, I like dark-ish photos, and this one works for me.
