Good morning Simon
Very nicely done. I love the composition, and the contrast between the lilies and the background. The subtle shading on the stems is nicely counterbalanced by the yellow in the centre of the left hand lilly. 10, in my favourites and downloaded for my desktop.

Success is found by having the courage to let go of known shores.

This one I knew just had to be yours Simon! What a fantastic capture of the beautiful calla lillies! You just doubled my pleasure by showing me two of them. I particularly like how one lily is more open & the other more tightly curled. Great contrast with the image and in the image. Another one well done my friend. Thank you :))

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile. Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

This is a very beautiful image with great color tones and composition. I love lilies and you have captured the beauty of these two to be enjoyed long after the plants have died.

The composition and color are flawless. Wonderful photography. I've been looking at some of the new varietys featured in the spring gardening catalogs. They have some now that are tinged with color, very striking. 10.

I downloaded the photo for its simplicity. There are several lilies in the field gallery but I like this one for its subtle and mute colors. It's going to stay quite a while as my wallpaper. I have a slow PC and my vote will slow me down so I will give a 10 here.
