Default Phalaenopsis In Natural Light

I recently learned to shoot my florals differently. Unless I have to, I prefer natural light. Canon EOS 1-D, Canon 100- 400 mm. f/4.5-5.6 with 12 mm. extension tube.

C & C are appreciated.....

Very nice shot. I shoot a lot of butterflies with 70-200 and a tube. Works well.
