This is a great capture of a beautiful flower. The color is very soft and the petals look like silk.I really like the blurred background. It makes for higher definition of the flower itself. Very interesting center to this bloom. Part of it looks like a button! Good color, quality, clarity and composition. Thank you.:~)

wow thats one of the best pictures of a flower that i have seen on this site

I think it is a lotusflower, thank you, I was looking for a good picture of a lotus! A very good capture, the flower stands out beautifully from the velvety-looking green leaves and the light is perfect!

Beautiful picture, beautiful colors!

I had not seen this before today, but its so beautiful. Australia has magnificient flowers, trees and sights....the colour of this is gorgeous. I have done a canvas painting of this type of flower before..I love how you faded out the background aNd the inside of the lily is so clear. Its great! And welcome to caedes too....verena

Awesome pic, no doubt using your dads v expensive camera?
