Aptly captured for the contest theme...
An interesting initial impact.

Fantabulous macro with fine floral features & smooth velvety textures.

Impressive mixed media rendition.

Excellent monochromatic colors.
Interesting modification.

Great lighting & compact framing.

Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing!

Excellent choice for this contest. The stamens are clearly delineated against the petals. The crop creates a nice composition, and the shadow of the base of the stamens stands out in contrast.

Very well done. It is not easy to get all of the middle of the flower in such equal detail - you have done a masterful job of it.

The color of this Lilly is what gold looks like.

The DOF is full and deep.

The slight color variations between the different parts of the flower adds more depth to this take.

Dramatic impact when first seen.

Here's a real contender ... B-)) Bob

this is definitely the centre of the flower with the beautiful presentation of its depth as the tonal control and balance of this shot is very evident. The lighter tones permeate out towards the edges of the petals disappearing into the surrounding frame making this a great structural shot

A very nicely composed shot. The stamens are shown in fine detail and the colors are attractive without seeming surreal. Best of luck in the contest.

A nice photograph of this flower. Cropped and focused well. It a close up shot where you can see the details of it. The color is a soft warm tone. Good luck in the contest.

A very nice nature shot posted here! Your fine macro shot gets into the heart of the matter very well indeed! Exposure and sharpness are both good. Well done!

Nice lighting and well cropped and positioned in the frame. The focus could be somewhat sharper. The colors are true and very pretty. Good luck in the contest :)

A wonderful macro shot of the stamen of this beautiful yellow flower, emanating a golden glow and taken with great clarity and precision, with almost a haze of light surrounding the stems of them. Great detail on each one and the surrounding petals, and brilliant positioning capturing them nestled nicely in the centre of the photo with great DOF showing the perspective well from the petals themselves. Great entry and best of luck!
