Very good color and sharpness , maybe a little to light.
A beautiful flower.
You can find them in Sweden too but its rare and it is protected.

Very beautiful indeed Christian! I love its morphology and colors...maybe a bit overexposition in some places and the background a bit distracting..a more clean background could have brought a bit more majesty to this beautiful especimen :)

Very nice Christian a little over bright in places, which could be sorted with a light application of burn tool to the bright bits.
In the UK it is more than rare it is on the endangered list and I believe we are down to our last specimn or two and where they are is kept secret, I also believe its another you have to have permition to take a picture of if you are lucky enough to find one ((((.
Afew more notes about this Rare flower would help to teach others about it and where its found.

Guckusko in Swedish ;o). This plant is very rare here too but in my home region Jämtland quite far north there are some locations. As you can see from the name it like limestone and that is why we have it in Jämtland too.

I like how you moved in close on the flower and let it fill the frame. The background would be better of a bit darker.

Good shot! You've captured this Lady's Slipper Orchid very nicely. I keep meaning to go looking for these in the Alps myself - there's only one site left here in the UK, since the only other site was vandalised (and the tubers stolen) last month. I've chosen not to visit our sites to prevent trampling and give any seedlings a chance to grow... You're very lucky to have captured this one! Agree with Eagle78/RobBrown that there's a marginal over-exposure, and I think I'd prefer a little more DOF to keep the top sepal in focus along its length. It's a lovely capture though :-D

Very nice picture of this orchide Christian. Clever handling of the dof to set off the flower and the colours are great. Well done.

Belle orchidée bien capturée. La variété qui pousse chez nous au Québec est différente en couleurs. On la retrouve surtout dans les sous-bois. Je vais tenté d'en saisir une le printemps prochain. Bravo Christian!

Very nice orchid Christian. Nice warm colors and good sharpness. The species is very endangered directly by shifting or indirectly by changes of conditions on their natural stands.
