I know this is an older image. Does the photographer recall his/her f-stop? I’m mostly just curious. I have several orchids and struggle with making nice compositions when photographing them.

Thank you chassis! Here is another one that was shot with a slightly different focus point and at f8 (vs 16). I converted it to black and white and reduced contrast to make it more different from the previous version.

I like the color! Especially the green background.
An interesting halo effect around the two red flowers in the background - something going on with chromatic distortion, focussing differently perhaps?

I think you are absolutely right about some sort of lens distortion. I see this on the original slide and also on some other photos I took with a similar setup. Take a look at this photo that I took on 5x7 with a similar 210mm lens that shows pretty much the same halo effect on the out of focus flowers. I quite like the result actually :)
I do think my BW conversion has emphasized this effect more because I adjusted individual color channels manually. Below is the unadjusted color version of this 2nd image.
