I am so impressed with the fluidity and transparency of this photo. It is sharp, well composed, dramatic. I have seen many lily photos but this one is a stand out.

Thank you so very much for the lovely review and of course also for the very generous rating.

This picture is so beautiful to look at, it seems to flow, and by changing the opacity has made the Lily look so delicate and fragile, coupled with a tastefully done textured background, to me it really looks a work of art and thanks for sharing.
best wishes
KEN.

You can run but you cannot hide. Even in b/w your art sings loudly.

I love the glow off this piece and the subtle background really supports these flowers.

Your tonal range from black to white with a large gray zone is excellent.

Looks like a winner in my eyes.

Very well done! The details are so beautiful and it gives off this tender and romantic feel. I really like the black and white. I think you made a ordinary bloom look like a spectacular piece of art. Well done!

There are some great entries in this competition and this is no exception. Love the way you have filled the frame and the texture of the flower shows up perfectly with the lighting. Great presentation in black and white. :) Mary

Beautiful rendition of the contest theme. Petals design is clear and enjoyable. Focus on stamens is good.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

They might have looked lovely in pink, but the look beautiful in Black and white. I really like what you did here. The softness combined with the clarity of texture and sharpness of detail is impressive. The tall format works perfect for this presentation. The flowers are well placed into the frame. The light in the middle descending into the darker outside intensifies the emotional impact this piece has on the viewer. Best luck for the contest!

I love lilies. They make such a good presentation in the garden. You really captured their delicate beauty on this image. the lighting giving a beautiful glow in the center is extraordinary. The side profile is very unusual and I love it. Great image.
