This is another specie orchid from my collection. These small blossoms have chartreuse sepals, yellow petals, with a butter yellow lip. The blossoms bloom in profusion on erect spikes. This is a delightful miniature Lycaste. Image created on my breakfast room table by window light. White card used for bounce (natural light) fill. Hope you like my image. C and C welcome, I'm here to learn. - John

You know I like this orchid. As Fabs says its a nice presentation and yellows are a difficult color to capture...

Another beauty - you sure can tell you are passionate about these flowers because you really capture them so well.
Only thought I have is that you might tone down the flash marks a little bit on the pointed leaves. I like them as is but they do pull my eye down a bit from the flowers.
A very sensuous and lovely image, you've really showed the beauty of these orchids. The lighting and composition work very well. Thanks for sharing this image, it communicates well your appreciation of their beauty.
