This is outstanding work as I see it.
Pin sharp focus, beautiful colours and it certainly takes one to the 'heart' of the flower.
I am very fond of daylilies and enjoyed the narrative included with the post.
Excellent work!

I can imagine eating something so beautiful. Your photo is precise, and the colors are amazing. The magnification is glorious. Wonderful photo.

WOW! This is so sharp. I like your setting, all the parts are well-defined, and the angle and focus, is really great. You've nailed this one. Likewise, framing and exposure, are excellent.

    Well-deserved, Deb. If you don't mind, and if it is still available, can you share your settings. Did you use manual? I haven't reach any clarity like this yet. I had been trying, but failed.

This is an outstanding close-up of this (un)lily species, demonstrating great photographic skills. The image is clearly defined with the petals forming a natural frame. A pleasure to view. Mike

    I'm so pleased you enjoy the notes cs. I've been soundly chastised for including "TMI" on occasion so am always happy when someone says they like them. I really appreciate you checking out my post...and especially the extra star you've given it. Thank you so much.
