Since I am from Jersey I of course love the name of these flowers.
Lovely soft pink color while in bloom and a nice burgundy in buds.
Nice capture with nice focus and clarity.

    Yes, I was being Cheeky Susan. I understand it was not Jersey from the US. ;)

    Sandra,
    I knew you knew which Jersey it was... My Granny was from Detroit & I have cousins in Michigan, New York, Oregon, California & Ohio States I've also visited Philadelphia, Washington DC. & El Paso. But sadly NOT Florida YET.

    Florida....too hot and too many people.
    It's the 8th most populated state in the US. Only time Florida is Gorgeous is when Snow is in every state but ours.
    And then everyone comes here to get away from snow. ;)

Great info notes!
A great initial impact. Nice interesting subject with an out-of-focus verdant backdrop... Excellent POV & DOF...Harmonious colors. Impressive lighting, focusing & framing.

This is a beautiful capture. The pastel pink looks exquisite on the soft green background. The colors are realistic. The flower is well focused. The blossoms show refined detail. The photo is also well framed.

Gorgeous colors and excellent details in these lovely lilies
Susan. The shades of pink and purple really compliment each other beautifully. Love the angle and orientation of these blooms.
Fantastic outdoor blooms in a garden!

Comment from Envision


Your exposure is very good and brings out the natural shades of pink in these flowers very nicely. I like how the blooms are surrounded and framed with the darker colored buds

A very nice nature shot posted here! Your fine and central composition offers us a very enjoyable look at those beautiful blooms. Like the curling delicacy of the petals. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done!

What a lovely detailed looking flower shot Susan, perfect composition, the green background is ideal to show off those gorgeous pinks of the Lilies, the diffused light is also perfect for the subject and how the shadows are making the image have depth!

Comment from Lorafina


He's our beautiful lilies. I love the color of the Flowers In Bloom next to the darker purple of the buds. The two Willy's that lean to the left remind me of two parents and the buds are their children. sorry if that sounds a little strange! The background looks really good because you can see that it is leaves and other objects in I like that it is not just a solid color.

These lilies are so beautiful Susan, and you could not have pictured them better. They look so delicate with the lovely pink colors and I also like the deep purple hues of the buds. With the nicely softened background, they are standing out in an excellent way.

The photo is pin sharp and it is indeed clear and well defined details both in the petals and the stamens of the flowers, and the exposure is perfect.

The tight framing and the format works well, and the lilies have got a fine placement in the picture. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken flower photo, and with an excellent DOF.
