[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Asiatic lilies have such a wonderful colour and fragrance.When I lived in Northern Ireland I had a lot in the garden. I frequently have them as cut flowers around the house.
As I do more photography, I really admire the intricacies of nature more and more. Here, the colour of the callyx (the bulbous top at the end of the green stem in the centre of the flower) is the same colour as the petals. it is this attention to detail which is so amazing.

I have been experimenting with taking shots against a black BG and also a different frame. My thanks to Annie (Beger) for her help with framing and also to Jackie for being so patient with the PP tutorials on CS2.Too complicated for my liking. Jackie..I don't always get it the first time but I do get there eventually.You are much appreciated.

Hi Joni
The experimenting and tutorials are obviously paying off!!
This is fabulous. The stamens in the middle really look like they are 3d. I love the frame you have used as well.
The only thing I'm not sure about is the leaf at the bottom. I think the lily would be nice just on its own but thats just my personal preference. I did a workshop to clone it out (more for my practice) as there is absolutely nothing wrong with your shot. Hope you done mind.

I love the crop on this--putting the center of the flower in the corner is great. The translucence of the purple is wonderful. I agree with you that Annie is very good in helping. There are others too of course.

Hello Joni
What a lovely presentation that gets along well with the delicate shapes of lily and its appealing pastel colors.
I should learn to use black backdrops for close photography.
Cheers.
