Taken during a trip on Saturday to our local Botanical Gardens here in Dublin. Its wonderful to see the Orchids back blooming. The details in these flowers is amazing. I used a very narrow aperture of f/20 here to maximise depth-of-field but still managed an extremely sharp image. I also used a reflector to fill in some additional light beneath the flower.
