Ed, wonderful clarity and reflections. Nice job on the whites. The "party-crasher" does add additional interest. I like the diagonal placement of the flowers also. :cool:

Ed: Welcome to NPN and to the finest Flora gallery on the planet. This is a fine first post and a superb capture of the lily. The hover fly is a nice complementary element. Great to have you aboard and looking forward to more.>=))>

Well done! The comp and detail are perfect. I would love to see a tad more saturation in the colors, but an excellent first post! :toast:
