Great photograph, just love it. This must be some kind of an Orchid!?

The focus is too soft, but the idea is good. Needs some work. The curtain would be a better bg than having two toned bg, imho. Good subject.

I like the photo but maybe a little out of focus? Nice shot.

I think a darker background for the rightmost flower would have helped as it is hard to distinguish now.

this is a cool flower but it seems out of focus, the background is distracting and the light is a bit harsh

Wow, those are some pretty amazing flowers. Bet they look cool in color too.

Nice shot.

Too centered, out of focus and a bit overexposed. There was no need for more then one of these flowers, other two are just distracting...

I think this is the only flower shot I rated above 2! Works well with the strong contrasts on the petals where other flora is just bland when desaturated.

nice composition but focus is a tad soft

Focus too soft and I think the flowers would have looked better with a black background for the entire photo. They seem to stand out more on the left side of the shot. It would benefit from increased contrast.

little bit outta focus...
