One of the orange lilies I shot a couple of days ago. Done "in studio" in my dining room - natural light. Thought it fit in with the theme of the season. Happy 4th everyone!
Viveza, Nik darken/lighten, midnight, and skylight filters added.

You do a great job with the lighting of these studio shots. Nice to be able to work under controlled conditions, isn't it?
I like everything about this.

Great title Kathy. The stem looks like the trailer that we saw last night during the local pyrotechnic display. Not a trailer, maybe a leadere before the burst. Very nicely captured Kathy, and the slight diagonal adds to the composition! You're work is rising like a rocket! Since there is no larger file to peruse, how sharp are the subjects? Can't really tell on this monitor. How come no larger file? Curious mind wants to know. Okay, warped mind.

The title is particularly apt Kathy. Vibrant, striking image. Very fine work.

Another shot with great lighting and vivid color. The dark background just makes it feel 3-D.
