Hello Jose,
Very fine macro of this little Ophrys. Details are very sharp and I like the colours. Well composed too! They are hard to identify as many are so similar. Many thanks, Ulla

looks like O. iricolor, look at my pics for it, greetings Ori
Hola José,
A fine macro of this Ophrys flower.
The sharpness, POV and composition are superb!
According to my old book this seems to be some subspecies (possibly arnoldii) of Ophrys fusca, but as you say this genus is difficult and even experts cannot agree about the species and subspecies.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Saludos

Hi Jose.
I am very glad to see you new pictures. Excellently composed shot of beautiful flower. I like magnification and composition of the shot. Colours are so rich and at the same tine delicate. Soft lighting is perfect too as well as the well details neutral BG. Well done and TFS.

Hi Jose,this is beautifull too,excellent colours and details,my best compliments and thanks for share,Luciano
Hi Jose,
Beautiful capture of Ophrys iricolor. The best sign is the V-shaped notch in the base of the labellum. Compare to my posting of about a week ago, showing a specimen at almost on the same POV...

Bonjour Jose,
Ces Ophrys sont si difficiles à photographier (il y en a dans notre jardin botanique). Belle composition en diagonale pour présenter cette petite beauté.
Merci

Hi Jose
A lovely macro of this orchid I realise it is not as simple as it sometimes look. Orchids have extended lips that protrude towards you and especially when you are so close to these flowers the DOF becomes very critical, but you did an excellent job here to ensure good details throughout the entire range of the flower. That is even inclusive of the new bud that is forming behind the flower which you also kept in crisp focus.
You pushed the ISO (80) so you ran a bit tight with the availability of light (looking at the aperture and shutter speed settings), but it seems like you compensated well by either using a tripod or utilising a firm prop against something very sturdy. At 1/60 of a second shutter speed I thing there would be very few people who could hold a camera still when shooting straight out of the hand. Yet the proof is in the result as the outcome is nice and sharp. I like the composition with the flower loosely placed on the diagonal line running through the frame. The colours and exposure was fine, but here I must admit that I prefer Howard's post processing work as I think it does justice to your photo.
Anyway, good work and well done MF & TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hola Jose
Una foto extraordinaria de esta preciosa orquídea. Siempre me han llamado la atención este tipo de flores, pero nunca he visto una al natural, por eso me gustaría saber cuál es más o menos su tamaño. Me encanta el encuadre y la textura de la flor.
Enhorabuena.
Saludos

Vaya tela Jose, salgo al campo, y nunca me encuentro preciosidades como esta. ¿Será porque siempre voy mirando al cielo?. :-) :-). Eres un maestro en esto de las fotos de flores. Espero que estéis bien. Un abrazo.

Impresionante, bella... menos el tercio inferior jajaja. Si te acercas son "jodidas" para fotografiarlas. Es impresionante el mundo de las orquídeas por su belleza y en particular las Ophrys son inetesantes a veces por sus pequeñas variaciones. Tengo tb una en mi galería que dudadba aunque me la confirmaron.
Bonito trabajo José.
Un abrazo: José Ignacio.

Tremendo macro pero echo en falta algo mas de foco en la parte inferior del labelo. Yo a esta la llamo Ophys fusca var. lupercalis pero para nombres las orquideas.... te puedes echar a temblar con los sinónimos y nombres actuales...
abrazo
