Back in 2004 we traveled to St. Kitts looking for a different place to vacation. We traveled around the island. From the hotel, the driver made a left turn took us to the main city, shows the house of every single politician and important person. Going around the island we found lots of interesting places and beaches, got to see the wild monkeys, the volcanic rocks on the beach, the egrets nests old sugar plantations and, of course, the wild orchids shown here.
Hope you enjoy the beauty of the flowers.

A nice looking shot Enrique. Good tight composition and an interesting and original post for your portfolio. Nice colors, and although I think the hotspot towards the right side catches the eye and throws off the exposure a bit, it doesn't distract enough to take away from the beauty of the shot. If anything, it lets the viewer know this isn't a studio shot. Nice, simple frame to match and compliment the photo also.

Nice work.

Enrique this is a picture I would expect to find in TL or TN. I do like it and I think you did a very good job composing it. The exposure, colours and sharpness work very well to enhance the quality and appeal of the image. The flowers are a beautiful subject. THanks for sharing.

Hola, amigo Enrique,
Un macro con excelente calidad de imagen, donde parece que podamos tocar y sentir la textura aterciopelada de estas preciosas orquídeas salvajes.
Muy buenos colores y buena exposición, en una composición muy bonita, sencilla y bien realizada.
Una abraçada,
Josep

Hola Enrique.
Muy buena foto de la preciosa orquidea, me gusta mucho que la has tomado en la sombra con unas pinceladas de luz. Muy buenos colores y definicion. Interesante como pudiste encuadrar las flores dentro de un apretado marco. Felicitaciones.
Un abrazo amigo.

I enjoy the beauty of the flowers and your power to make a good composition for a brilliant photo. Soft and beautiful tones. Nino

Hi Enrique, A very beautiful close up of these wonderful flowers, the detail is excellent & the light superb, the yellow is delightful against the pure white, well composed & nicely framed, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Enrique,

So simple and so beautiful. Lovely close up which shows all the details of the flower. I think I have said it before - I LOVE your frames - gives it a professional and postcard-like touch.

:) Tina
