Hi Jan!
End of orchids? Butterflies are also good :-) I like this one - looks rather old, but still very nice. Hard to capture with open wings, so congratulations!

Jan,
just perfect! POV, DOV, composition, everything very well chosen. A delightful picture, and very helpful to recognize the species, too. Thank you, and congratulations.
