Hi Kyle - I really like the presentation here. The white lily stands out so well amongst all that blackness and the flower itself is nice and sharp. Good control of the whiteness as well. Nice shot.

Hello Kyle,

The starkness and simplicity of this shot is what makes it so powerful! There are no distractions, nothing to remove the concentration from this single, sharp, detailed image!

My compliments!
Bev :-)

Many thanks for your warm comments on 'Radiance in October'.

Ho yes! A good idea!
I admit i see two way who could inspire me... That way you did is excellent with all that black around.
Another way in close-up were we can see it big and full of detail could be very of interest too!
I enjoy the way some green remain just enough to make we guess the shape of the stalk of it :)

Super contrast between the lily and the black BG. Lily's kind of "float" in the water and your seems to be floating in the frame. Neat
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Hi Kyle,
My personal taste would prefer the lily being just a wee bit larger in the frame but...that's not meaning I don't like it as is. This is very attractive, very well captured, beautifully lit, great detail and is placed for a very pleasing composition. NIce shot Kyle!!

Hello Kyle. I like your work here with water lily. The sharpness is pristine and the droplets are just stunning around the white petals. You have completely silenced the background making it looks like floating in space. Pleasantly cropped and thanks for sharing. Best regards. Jusni
