Wonderful composition. We know what your subject is—the orchid center. You made it better by moving in close, shooting it in shade so there are no distracting shadow lines, and removing any other distractions. Great idea to fill gaps with a similar orchid for color and interesting lines without competing with the main focal point. The center of the orchid is enticing, as nature planned. And the petals look velvety soft and petable. When you've pulled in more than visual sense you've done well with a photograph. Good job! #1389709
