I took her pic back in March, but she kept saying, "No, no, no. It's not my time." I pushed her forward in the midst of the season and told her to take her lumps.

You have some perfect looking lilies here, PJ. They are so shiney and well groomed. They must have been prepping themselves in that closet all this time. Beautiful plant and capture. I hope these were for your yard. LOL

That is SO Cool PJ!! I love how some of the red pollen fell off. I've got one something like that I'll have to show ya from Silver springs....Completely different color though.

Perfect Capture and perfect showcase with that background.

Lol ... rather a bold narrative. Funny. :o)

Just taking a look through your galleries, and I am hard pressed to choose ... one ... to comment on, but even in thumbnail the composition of this particular one was and is strong.

Gorgeous specimen too. Vibrant, both in health and colours captured ... looks surreally alive.

Caveats? If I may be so bold ... and I suspect that you had good reason for doing so ... was it not possible to frame and include the full flower in the right hand side?

Not really a detractor to your image here, more curiosity on my part. Might have filled some of the negative space in the left ... just not sure what the overall effect would be if you shifted your camera position. Sharing some thoughts with you here, make no mistake about my words.

Wonderful contrasts in colour, I like that aspect a lot.

Good clarity and detail, yeah ... well done.

And but of course, thank you for sharing this one. :o)
