i did my best on this one guys. the only thing that hurts is the shadow of the flower parts on the flower itself.

Hi Mike I like it a lot !!

Don't mind the shadow since its complementing the shape. Did real well with the exposure and got texture on the flower. Point of focus is right up front at the leading edges letting us know were to look. Might clone out the light area by the top part of the flower and the two little green spots on the right. Made a very nice image Mike !!!!

Mike, this is very nice, it looks like I could just reach out to touch and feel the texture of the lily.
