What a fabulous shot of this wonderful lily...and its past coming to fruition and ending on a lovely note. The way you have displayed this flower is so unique that it is worthy of art. Wonderful entry for the contest. Best of luck.

Comment from Sange
This is truly Spectacular!
I Love the diagonal framing of the flower coming in from the top left cascading down to the right.
It looks like a flower morphing into a jellyfish.
White balance is handled well and the lighting is superb. I LOVE that the lower flower is almost translucent and see through on the lower one.
This has a delicate look that emotes beauty and grace. A fine entry for this contest and a GREAT example of "dying old gracefully"
Excellent work!
Good luck!

Your Peruvian Daffodil is truly spectacular. The near transparency of the petals and the overall artful arrangement of the elements is exceptional, along with the dark background that showcases it. I hope you win first place!

Beautiful take with great iridescent features. Artistic value with excellence light and contrast. I to like to take photographs of the magnificent changes and beauty of a flower coming to their end of bloom. Well done. Good luck in the white contest. Pam

A charming capture of this dainty subject with fine tentacle features & soft textures.

Subtle illumination matches its soft fragile overall appearance.
Darkened background pops out the white subject aesthetically.

Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing...

Wow! It certainly is a wonderfully exotic looking thing,isn't it?
And the gleaming white of this 'expiring' blossom looks great against the dark background!
'Good Show'!

A beautiful shot. The lighting is very nice and shows remarkable detail in this exotic blossom. The colors are beautifully subtle and the image looks great against that dark background.

Great subject. I love the white on the black background it makes for a great contrast. The lighting is perfect the way it is highlighting the center of the subject. The curves give it a certain abstract look whish if very pleasing
