Placed my camera on my foot angled up at the orchid to see what I would get. I love the abstract feel. There was a slight breeze in the air.

I wasn't sure which one was yours. Very artistic and beautiful! I am glad so many appreciated it despite the score. You should be proud of this image! :)

I think this is stunning and I am sorry you didn't do faaaar better with it in the voting. We grow orchids and I am constantly looking for new ways to photograph them - this is a beautiful portrait of their "essence". It was also the inspiration for my "DOF in Red" challenge entry - I didn't use an orchid and in the end it looks very different, but this photograph was the inspiration for it - Thank You :-)

Excellent! I can't tell for sure what flower this is & I don't care because I am lost in admiration of the emotional impact. The heat in the molten-lava colors creates a lovely contrast with the cool dewey lavenders. The blur creates its own detail. This is like an illustration of what a flower smells like. Please accept this Gilded Lily & my enthusiastic admiration for this excellent photograph.
