Hi Raimundo,great capture of this beautiful orchid! A lot of flowers on this branch and a very good pic,very sharp and with magnificent bright colors,i like it! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Raimundo,

Beautiful Bokeh in the BG and I like the way you framed this beautiful colored Orchid. But, unfortunately most of the part is OOF and it's clearly visible. But composition is really nice to me.
Thanks for sharing with informative NOTE,
Regards,
Srikumar
