    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!

    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.
