I really like seeing all three phases in one image. Your framing is attractive with the elements hitting all the aesthetic lines perfectly. The colors stand out nicely against the darker background and you captured lovely detail.

Belongs on a greeting card. Hope you can sell it! The black background makes this photo so dramatic, and the photo is further enhanced by perfect focus, perfect colors, and the subtle stages of life of the lily.

Nicely composed image of this beautiful lily and buds. The black background creates an excellent contrast to the subtle color of the flower and the green of the bud. Wonderful lighting and focus is spot on.

A very nicely composed still life. The lighting is very good and the detail in the open blossom is superb. The buds give nice balance and the colors are excellent.

This is an very interesting photo. I like especially that you show the stages of development. That the fully open flower is accompanied by an opening colored bud and a smaller bud still green is especial intriguing. The photo is well focused and exposed. Details are well refined. The light is efficiently used. The colors are realistic. The panorama framing is adequate. The composition is balanced.

Interesting photograph of a beautiful Lily in bloom also showing the 3 stages that a Lily goes through. Natural colors and tones in the scene. Good lighting, sharp focus, good DoF, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a Beautiful Photograph of this Lily with a black background, well done Pat. This photo deserves a "Big Six"

It is a truly beautiful Lily you have pictured here Pat, and I like very much that you have shown the different stages. The all dark background is Perfect for the lily to stand out in an excellent way, and the light is falling on the flower in such a lovely way.

The photo is Nice and Sharp sowing really Clear and well defined details both in the petals and the stamens, and the exposure is Perfect.

I like the format you have cropped the photo into, and also the placement of the full Bloom off to the left. A truly lovely and well taken photo, and With an excellent DOF.

Always so great to get many stages of bloom in one shot, Pat. This is a perfect example and the dark background shows all three off so well. Excellent lighting and detail. Perfectly composed with natural striking color. Well done!
