Beautiful image, Ken. The composition is really superb - Nice, tight image with good clarity and detail. I think if you had taken one more step to the left you might have included a bit more of the green buds and that little piece of the petal on the left side that is missing - it might have made the comp even stronger.

Still...I love it. Great colors and really nicely executed.

Looks like a tiger lily to me...they grow wild in my part of the woods.

I think it is a daylily--the orange kind that has become naturalized in New England.

I like the transluscence of the flower petals which allows us to see more details. Beautiful colors. Nice composition.

I hope in future posts you will be able to eliminate the watermark.

Ken, Very nice . The color rendition is spot on. I like your composition and BG.
