I was somehow fascinated by the shape and whiteness of this very elegant flower. Thas's what I tried to show in my shot.
I took this photo using Nikon D90 with a 18-105mm lens @ f5.6, 1/60 and ISO 400.

The lines of the petal are like rising smoke - you've captured the elegance of the flower perfectly. Just a little bit more room at the top would give the flower a little bit of room to breathe - other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. This is absolutely gorgeous, Chris. A masterpiece.

Excellent composition combined with great light makes this image stand out from the rest. If this was shot indoors, I would prefer to see bit more space at top and bottom of the image.

Chris - Nice lines, detail, and texture here!
I'd suggest having the lily less centered, and having a little more definition, so it doesn't fade completely into the BG.
Nice work - looking forward to more!

Following Varina's suggestion I include a new version. I agree it does look better. Thanks Varina.
