Beautiful Macro.. Clean and clear.. Great editing.. Your are doing very well.. Keep up the good work with that camera.

Thank you very much Morwyn...you provide a huge boost to my confidence and self esteem.

I really like this picture! The color is positively gorgeous! The lighting is great, the detail is wonderful, and I can't find a single trace of ant! =) Keep up the awesome work! By the way, the spider web is hardly noticable...i didn't see it till ya pointed it out!

Thank you very much Laurel...I'm still worried about that spider web:) But,atleast you can't see any ants I guess.

What ants/old ants?I don't even seen a sign of them.The lighting I think makes it looks so great(x100).The color is absolutely gorgeous.You're getting to be so great with a camera.Keep it up.

Thank you very much Miranda...I agree,I think the shadows are what makes this picture. I had nothing to do with it :)

What a beautiful photo. I love lilies. They're blooming in my garden now. This close-up really captures the perfect bloom!

Beautiful photo of such a lovely flower, into my favs and onto my desktop. thanks for sharing.

Nice work. Pretty show and good editing. I appreciate the bug-free burst of color.

Thank you for all the comments,they're very much appreciated. Judy,thank you also for telling me what kind of flower it is. I didn't know for the longest time:)

You have done a superb job of capturing an often photographed flower. I love the dark deep color and the clarity that you presented. Well done. Thanks :))

ok.. where are the ants and where is that spider web? well, obviously you've made a great editing because i can't see it :))

the subject is simpy gorgeous.. i love lilies, but i haven't seen a crimson one till now. i think it looks amazing in someone's garden (yours? :) the colours are fascinating, those red shades are perfect. i love the superb lighting the most, those shades look outstanding and make great lighting contrasts all around.. nice background, too, it doesn't distract our attention from this beauty..

thank you for sharing this strikingly beautiful macro shot with us.. i would like to have those crimson lilies in my garden.. btw, your recent works show a great sign of improving. you'll be a great photographer one day ;)

enjoy your day... :)

Very pretty, the red is so strong and beautiful, very pretty. This is going into my favorites.

This Is Such A Pretty Flower! Great Image.

Lilies are one of my favorite flowers & this is a beautiful example. Good job. I love that intense color !! Asfor the ants, you must've done a terrific job of editing cuz I don't see a trace of 'em !!! Way to go !! : )
