Belle photo Christian pour cette orchidée, le flou de l'arriere plan contribue à donner un beau relief. En Touraine les "pentecotes" ne sont pas encore sorties de terre.Didier.

Lovely picture Christian. Great colors and very well composed. I love the frame too. TFS!

Very attractive image. You've handled the bright sun very well and I like the green OOF background.

Great shot Christian.
I love orchids, in about one month I can see the first one's here.
Good details, colours, very nice composition and POV.
Very well done.

Cette orchidée est très majestueuse et bien mise en valeur par la faible profondeur de champs.
Merci aussi pour les descriptions botaniques qui accompagnent l'image.

Very good photo of the orchid. Nice composition, details and colors. In Czech Republic the species is rather rare, similar Dact. fuchsii is more spread.
