This is an interesting composition in B&W.. The soft pleasing curves of the flower makes it an interesting viewing. Fine composition and very good light effect makes this very viewable!

This is very pretty low key photography, very subtle with the lily, not sad like so much low-key work.
If you have Topaz, did you get De-noise 5? It's a great add on the works miracles for so many photos. This doesn't need a miracle but there is noise on the petal that could easily be cleaned up and it would look cleaner. You can do a trial and see if you like it. Paula

    Thank you very much for the lovely review. I have De-noise 5 and have actually used it already on this photo. A stronger effect takes too much away though.

What a gorgeous presentation. I love what you have done with this flower. The shading into the black is gorgeous. The focus is good. Great technique and imagination.

This is a very unique way of presenting a lily. I like the way you have it coming out of a black background. Very simple but nice. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Sam

Such an elegant and compelling presentation. I think this Calla Lily is done to perfection. I am sure someone will Wright something critical about this. All I can say is SOUR GRAPES. Technically and artistically a masterpiece.

Looks quite mysterious in a religious kind of way. Your image is enjoyable, well composed, sharp and has good exposure. I have liked looking at it and reviewing it. Very nice photo, well done!

Flowers are beautiful but an image of a flower is usually blend to me...BUT NOT WITH YOUR PICTURE.
The way you display this flower is breathtaking because it give a spirit to its natural beauty
