ID help

This photo was created this weekend on a roadside in Lake Wales Ridge, FL. Any idea what it is? The leaves looked like blades of grass.

I've seen them Chad but not clue of the name !!! Sure had soft light and a good bg for the flower !!! Might go brighter on the whites !!!

The multiple yellow stamens makes this image work for me Chad. Brightening up the white petals as Al suggested would give the image a lift. love the BG!! Sorry can't help with ID - wrong country :)

Nice looking flower and simple but effective composition. I agree that increasing the gamma is the way to go.

[chad anderson]

Here's another try based on your suggestions. I couldnt go any brighter b/c I didn't want to lose any detail.

But I still need an ID :)

thanks for the input,
chad

think I got it if your interested. It is most likely Crow Poison, Zigadenus densus according to:

I think you got it right, Chad! Neat flower - definitely not what most of us think of as a lily... I assume it was in a roadside ditch or a wet flat?
