Hi Jan!

As you know I'm fan of your orchid pictures. This one is very sharp and detailed, nice shapes of flower. Maybe not very beautifull but I wouldn't call it unattractive ;-) Good work!

Very accurate and well done close-up. We suppose to have this one in Romanian Flora , but is so rare that even when I went chasing it in certified locations I couldn't find it.

Regards, Petru
