I like the composition and the tight crop. The drop on the bottom was a great catch.

Dave, I echo Nick's comments. The details are stunning and I like that the bottom of the image is black - sets off the flower really well.

Hey Dave,
I agree with above that it is a beauty....but I'm actually surprised no one mentioned the clipped top.....so I might take some off there...covering the right V shape. I do think you also need to remove the highlights from the flash.....in the drop.....upside down smiley face....small final touches to a beautiful orchid!
