Lily in dappled light

[Bob Miller]

Saw this at Longwod gardens and loved the way the diffused but still dappled light painted this blossom.

Beautiful image, I like the way you get the impression of depth. I suspect someone will say there are a few stray specks of pollen, but for me there will be - it's a lilly - that's what they do!

Beautifully soft, subtle tones in this image Bob...great light, nicely handled whites, the soft shadows give additional depth...and ISO 1600...wow..clean image! VERY nicely done! :cheers:

Hi Bob. This is a lovely flower in beautiful light and with excellent sharpness where it needs it most. Very impressive for ISO 1600! I also like the dark (but not totally black) background. This is very nicely done!

A gorgeous Lily nicely captured! You did a great job with the colors and captured the dappled light that first caught your attention. Good work with the whites. I would clone out the speck of pollen in the lower center of the image. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
