I always like photos of flowers Willie, and this lily is truly beautiful. I especially like the way you have focused on the pistil and stamens, and they are standing out from the dark background in an excellent way.

Your focus is also spot on and sharp showing such clear and well defined details, and the exposure is perfect.

The tight cropping works really well and the lily has got a very good placement within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Very nice and somewhat different view of a stargazer. The rear view with the stamen against the black background sets the subject off very well. Good focus and color. Well done.
