So breathtakingly beautiful. Wonderful contrast. Focused beautifully. Incredible clarity. A series of these would make a wonderful set of photos. I like how the lily is so stark against the dark background.

I love solid backgrounds or solid foregrounds with all the color in the background actually I like contrasty photos or ones really really soft.Thanks again , reagan

Very nice idea with this photo... You did well to capture this moment just before dark else much of its beauty may have been lost in the darkness...

Great image, applying a global sharpen filter to this prior to uploading, but after reducing it in size to meet the size limits for this site, will get rid of the slightly blurry look it currently has. I'm rating four start because I realize sharpening will make this look better online.

Very beautiful photo. Not to simple , not to complicated. Very well done. I like the solid black background it really accentuates the natural radiance of the flower.
