That is an outstanding shot, Dave! Great dof, pov, light, color, and clarity.

Dave:
This is a very beautiful image. The colors are terrific and the BG is really sweet. The slightly below eye-level POV is teasing the viewer to wonder what the center looks like over the petal rim. The only very minor nit (and this is been supercritical) is OOF stem in the RLC which seems a little out of place. Very good as it is. :toast:

A fine portrait of such a large flower. It's well isolated, which really makes it stand out and delight the eye with all its details.

Striking colors David and excellent bg separation. I like this as posted but think it might also be interesting in a square crop.

David: This is a masterful shot. Superb DOF/POF control and marvelous colors. Our day lilies are long gone. This makes me miss them. Well done.>=))>
