Dedication Lily Closeup..... Hey It's Mother's Day

[Charles Wesley]

This is my dedication to my awesome mom though she's no longer present. Please bear with me my hands are shaking as I write this. She's in a manner still with me. I miss her oh so much.

She was the only truly perfect person I've ever known.....

Canon 5D, Sigma 180 mm f/ 3.5 macro lens and tripod. Exposure was 1/8 sec. @ f/16.0 at ISO 400. Taken in natural light.

Enjoy

Perfect DOF & just fantastic (& gorgeous) lighting. Love the rim-lighting on the stamens. Nice details thought out. A great present to your mom.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Certainly beautiful!

I am sure she is proud of her favorite photographer.

I would not change anything to this wonderful image except that I would place the flower a tad more to the right.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Beautiful Charlie. Love the light on the stem as well as the flower.

[Mike Moats]

Hey Charles, super shot, like the sharp details and good color. BG works well and good poisitoning.

[Anita Bower]

Excellent! Love your use of light!! Especially the rim light. I must go back to one of your prior posts to find out how you do it. Lovely tribute to your mother--the image, the words, and the evident emotion.
