[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the season for lilies – both wild and cultivated. I found this one in a park yesterday where I whiled away a little time after driving for an hour for a meeting in another town. (There is one advantage to arriving early :)

Tech: Captured in raw; then using Photoshop CS2: adjusted levels, colour saturation and contrast in raw, converted to jpg, cropped from both sides to a square format, burned around the edges, resized, framed and signed

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

Stunning!! How can you get better than this one?? Excellent sharpness, I LOVE the lower light on this! Great framing too! That DOF is perfect!

That's a beautiful flower 'portrait' Silke, fine sharpness and the burn really helps the flower to stand out.
Nice work.
David

Hello Silke

Another stunner from you today my friend. I agree that the burning is exceptional here and I also think that the fact that the flower has wilted a little really suits this image as the petals have a lovely lace edge.

TFS regards Helen

Hi Silke,

Very nice composition.

Excellent macro creation.

Hello Silke,

Excellent macro, beautiful colors, very good frame!
Congratulations and TFS,

I like the square crop on this Silke, it was a good choice.
Amazing capture of the texture of this flower.
Once again an expert aperture setting. Great DOF.
Looks like we were both in a "Golden" state of mind!
Well done.

Hi Silke,
