Christmas Calla Lily

Moved the lily near a window to use the ambiant light. I wanted to focus on the curl at the end.
Thanks for looking,
Anne

Mission accomplished Anne. The end of the curl is tack sharp from my vantage point. Really like the simplicity of the image. Well done
For your next post :smile: having the curl edge all along the bloom would be something to see. This bloom has some fantastic curves.

Anne: Callas are some of my favorite subjects and we have a bunch of them getting ready to bloom in our garden so this whets my appetite. I like your DOF choice and the plane of focus. My only suggestion would be to push the flower a bit higher in the frame so that you catch a little more of the throat. I like your BG as well. 2 thumbs up. >=))>

Nicely done Anne. I find the OOF areas as interesting as the sharp. I also like the light and bg. No suggestions.
