[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A daylily blossom photographed during the peak of flowering season. It so called a daylily because each of its flower blooms only for a single day. There seems to be an ethereal beauty about these flowers as they seem to express the process of creation very lucidly.

Lighting source was outdoor natural light under cloudy condition. As my intention was to produce an uncluttered background, an A-1 white paper was placed behind the flower. The petals appear quite vivid although no color adjustment was made.

Wishing David (Refugee) a speedy recovery. We miss you.

The colour is indeed very natural, Danilo. The great thing with a bit of cloud is no OE. Placing the paper behind is a great idea both for the light and the clear crispness it gives the flower. Beautiful shot, well thought out and presented. Warm Regards
Wanda

Perfectly presented.

Bonjour Danilo,
Photo simple d'un premier abord, mais un esthétisme particulier en ressort.
Superbe composition toute en longueur, je suis admirative du résultat des couleurs avec ta technique.
Bonne journée

Danilo,
This is a excellent presentation.
Parang merong nagbabagang apoy sa gitna.
Ganda ng dating nga ginawa mo.
Galing mo talaga!

This is very interesting how you placed this on a WHITE BG instead of black. Your DOF is perfect here, I think black would have more punch, but this is an interesting experiment Danilo!

A very detailed and colourful shot of this beautiful flower. Lilies seem to be the aristocrats of flowers and you have managed to capture that image perfectly!
I like the angled composition.

hi Danilo

Lovely macro with the plain backdrop to show the nice rich color and softness in the flower. I like the sharp outline around the edges where the focus is sharp and the slightly blur at the other sides, although I would have cropped the space at bottom (and a little grey at bottom border).

The gradient in color tone of this flower is nicely captured here.

tfs, bill

Thanks for the tribute Danilo. An attractive lily and well captured using the A4 backdrop. Nicely composed with good detail. TFS,
David

Bonjour danilo
J'aime la fleur en elle même, passionné que je suis par cette plante, mais la composition choisie a un intérêt supplémentaire : planche digne d'un herbier, c'est très réussi.
Cordialement,
Antoine.
