[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My mother has a number of different lilies in her garden, many different colours and hues. This is just one of them captured not long after a rain shower had passed through.

Tech: Captured in raw; then using Photoshop CS2: adjusted levels, colour saturation and contrast in raw, converted to jpg, cropped slightly, cloned out the edge of a bud in one corner and a flash of light through the trees above one petal, resized, sharpened, and signed

Thanks for looking and for all your critiques, workshops and suggestions. Have a healthy, happy, safe week.

Hello Silke.
It looks as fresh as the morning itself.
Perfect colours with the clean raindrops on the flower.
Good one.

Hi Silke,
Great macro with good colours and sharpness, the exposure and DOF is perfect here and the water droplets are an added bonus.
Well done

Hello Silke
I love the texture on the pedals.. A nice warm yellow color is very pleasing.. I'm sitting waiting for much needed/promised rain :)

This one jumps out of the page at me Silke. The colour of the flower and the dark BG helps, but especially the focus and sharp details. And even the raindrops add another bonus,
BRAVO!
Janice

Hello Silke!
Wonderful yellow lily and great light in your composition!
Perfect focus!
Excellent done!
Best regards!

Hi Silke,
Another very nice capture you have produced here. The color and detail in this lily are wonderful. I really like the little drops of water on the pedals. Very nice work.

Impressive choice of F-stop to create this Macro my friend. Water droplets against the yellow petal a great touch. Crisp focus and composition spot on.

Dan

Superbly captued Silke. Just enough room either side of the lily and the colour and detail so delicate. Well done,
David

Hi Silke,
