Dave, Very dramatic look. I like the water drops and the raised petal. Beautiful composition.

Sweet curve in the orchid, water drops a bonus and great BG.

[Julie Kenward]

YUMMY! I do wish that the BG was either all black or all that marbled look but the flower is so beautiful I can't stop staring at it. Such a simple but effective composition and those water drops...fantastic!

Hey Dave love the mood lighting, excellent comp and the water drops add a real nice touch. Well done.

[Christopher Miller]

Wow, Dave!!! Excellent comp, love the colors, and the water drops add a perfect touch. Very well done!

[Dave Mills]

Thanks folks, appreciate the comments

[Anita Bower]

Lovely colors and composition. Water drops and raised petal are perfect. I would love to see more of the texture on the petals. Nicely done.

Dave,

I love it. The color, top sepal, BG and water drops really make this photo.
