What wonderful texture this daylily has! It almost looks like fabric. I've never seen one quite like it. The angle is dramatic and the black background makes the blossom truly pop.

    Thank you... I think the flash really brought out the texture in the petals.

You have a way with bold color - for sure.

This is one of the finest night florals I have seen.

The focusing of the petals is so sharp and crisp the crenulations have the appearance of gold leaf. The stamens are so realistic one could imagine taking the pollen from them.

I don't think it's possible to get any greater contrast than what I see portrayed with this take.

This is an extraordinary capture ... B-)) Bob

Really a nice picture , the black background really sets off the yellow and I would have never thought you used a flash , great coloring and good sharpness and details ..

It is a beautiful lily you have captured here, and with the dark background it is standing out in the most excellent way. I especially like the fine textures you have brought out in the petals, and also how lovely the light is falling on the flower.

Your photo is also pin sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen both in the petals and the stamens, I also think the exposure is spot on.

The tight cropping is working well and the lily has got a fine placement within the frame. It is a truly lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

    Thank you....I did it with the flash on my cell phone. It was still light enough for the phone to autofocus

This has a brilliant feel - so dynamic. The detail of the petals and stamen are perfect. The image stands out against the black background. Great work that was done with a flash at night.

Great abstract composition! I love the way almost all the petals run off the viewing plane. Very dynamic presentation and of course the jet black background against the bright yellow makes it stunning. Great job!

Beautifully done night photo of this stunning Daylily! Your focus is spot on and sharp, with good lighting (nice use of a flash), reveals good details on the petals and stamen. A good background complimenting your overall photography. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!
