[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another of the lilies from my mother’s garden, captured on Sunday morning after an overnight rain shower.

Tech: Captured in raw; then using Photoshop CS2: adjusted levels, colour saturation and contrast in raw, converted to jpg, cropped slightly, deepened the shadows around the blossom with the burn tool, resized, sharpened, and signed

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

Ciao Silke, splendid flower with fantastic drops, wonderful details and great sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

a very attractive composition.
POV is excellent, using green as your background
to emphasis the yellow flower, droplets add drama
to the set-up. well done.

A sublime flower close-up, Silke. The yellow is very bright, beautiful tones in the petals. DoF is large enough for the entire flower, but leaves a nice blur in the (very neutral) background. A beauty!

Très grande qualité de l'image

Guylaine

Lovely Silke. Good natural colour and perfect detail. The flower sits nicely in the frame and contrasts well with the darker backround.
