A gorgeous Southern Marsh Orchid. This is one of a snall colony that someone has been stealing from. I visited last night and found holes where the day before, 6 beautiful orchids had been . Further on into the wet grassland, yet more holes.

As for the picture, well it's one of the better of a bad batch. It is hard holding the sigma 50-500 without tripod as you can imagine and this is what I had to do. Still, the image stands.

Hi Julian,
it's sad to hear the orchid thieves have stroke again. Unfortunatly it happens too many times. As for the image I like the free standing and lighted orchid. I wonder if you used a mask for this in postprocessing?
My only nit would be the yellow frame (but I don't like frames anyway :-). A less colourfull one would be better.
Regards, Jacob

Very nice image. Looks like the cover of a magazine. Composition, colors and DOF are outstanding.
