Even though Ididn't understand your narrative and most of the rest of the comments, I wanted to let you know that I really like this. Lilies are one of my favorite flowers. The only suggestion I have, as the clarity and color here are great, is that you offset the pic a bit so that the flower is not smack in the middle. It seems to generate more interest that way and this one certainly deserves the royal treatment!
"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
