This monochrome image shows an orchid in the lower two thirds of the image, with small branches or stems immediately above it and glimpses of two other blossoms in the upper right and left corners. The orchid is fully in focus, and is angled slightly away from the viewer toward the left side of the image. The image shows clear details of several of its petals, which have a slightly wavy, striped pattern with occasional irregular spots. The pistil and other reproductive organs can be seen in the lower left. The branches and other blossoms in the mid-ground are slightly out of focus, while the remainder of the image is taken up with gray and black shadows.
