This lovely Lily was hiding in the shadows of Stotts Garden.

I took the exposure up more to get even more of an effect.

I'll be working 12 hours Tuesday, I hope to keep up with the comments.

I did use the canon 70-300 IS USM lens.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

It's a beauty. I like your background. My stargazer lily has just popped open. But I wouldn't have a clue how to do that background. Nice work Sandi. Fran

Hi Tigz I like the black background here but most of all I like the shallow focus pointed at the front which emphasises the delicate bits.
Perhaps I'm blabbering on a bit but it's a corker, I hope you Americans are familiar with that phrase Lol .. . (o:

It is a corker Tigz. I just wanted Phlossie to know that we knew. I like how it seems to "Fade To Black."
