Very nice and a welcome change from the pretty but banal shots of orchids that one usually sees (some of which are mine, I must admit).

Really nice. The first one really rocks.

The first is stunning. I find the bright green in the second distracting and I don't like it.

PS. You might want to clone that left upper dust spot,  if it jumped at me on my cellphone screen it's probably too obvious to neglect

For what it's worth the second one was backlit while the other was more shaded.
