 Close up of my orchid. Lit from below, just out of the frame, to create the shadowy "wings".

This is really a nice example of shallow DOF and a wonderful subject and presentation. I think it may have fallen victim to speed voters who missed the subtle elements blurred by DOF. Should have scored higher IMHO. The grain could be removed and a couple of distracting spots removed but even with these arguable distractions a very accomplished photo.
