don't have to be blind to know this of professional Avmurray quality..wink. the angle of the flower is awesome. love the swirl background and hazing of edges that keeps the viewers eyes focused on the POV. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. creative and awesome work overall.

Beautiful, dreamy photo! Love the details in the flower, and the photoshop swirls too! It goes together --it kind of swirls together. It could be another petal. Good luck in the contest!

Oh are you a lucky lady to have this beauty in your gardens....and an innovative entrant for this contest. Good for you!

Just beautifully composed. Marvelous sharp, crisp focus....and perfectly exposed...all your white just right. Very attractive post work as well. Your swirls highlight the gentle curves of the Lily and the soft green perfectly picks up the green of the stem.

Just a really lovely presentation. I imagine it is stunning in your gardens. Best of luck in the contest.

Deborah

I always like the way the swirls compliment the main subject. The soft pastels gently accentuate the white flower which contains sharp edges contrasting with the supple background. This is very well done. Best of fortune in the contest ~ Steve

I like the effects your background is as much a part of the image as the flower this balance brings the whole image to a new level, well done

Artist,

You surely have done great justice to this lovely lily. It's just gorgeous and your swirls in the background and an interesting and delicate effect.

Looks like a winner!

Very good entry for the contest. I like what you've done with this image of the beautiful white Lily. The misty background gives it an ethereal feel and shows off the curves very well. Very good lighting and focus. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Gee I wonder whose work this could possibly be. Your artistry in tops and so recognizable.

Of course I have no constructive criticism to offer.

Leave it alone, it's a winner.
