This is a very good close-up of the flowers. Using the main lily in the center of the photograph and the partial side view of the left lily makes a great composition. Be aware that LILY is spelled with no double L.

This is a beautiful image. The composition is excellent and the detail is absolutely superb. It well deserves to have been recognised.

Very well done. Thank you so much for sharing.

Very pretty. I love the bright yellow of the petals. I have shot similar to this from a slightly different angle if you care to look. Flowers are wonderful for close ups.

These yellow lilies are truly lovely, and you have pictured them so well. Seems like the water color filter has worked well, and the yellow colors in this blooms are especially delicate.

Your focus is actually sharp, but in my opinion a bit misplaced. It should have been on the stamens in the center instead of those on the very left. It is however nothing wrong with the exposure.

I think the composition would have worked even better with a bit more negative space on the left and less on the right. Especially since the stamens are sharp in the left. Still this is an all together lovely and well taken photo.

I really like the bright colors, there is a lot of detail and the framing is well done, there might be a little more cropping on the sides to emphasize the one flower, but that is minor and might only reflect my preferences...

Do like your frame-filling style here Mary Ellen and these Day-lilies are a wonderful butter yellow color.

The texture of the petals is also nice but I'm afraid the focus is really a bit soft....most especially on the left petal of your main flowers as well as the stamens. It's also unfortunate that you've clipped off such a large portion of your main subject's top petal.

It's a beautiful flower....just some minor camera adjustments needed this time.
