Take the previous one and slide the saturation slider all the way to the right :biggrin: - what a difference in colors in this version, Bill !. I have to ask you to stop posting these Lilies till ours bloom here now.

Fine pair, superbly placed in the frame.

Love the richness of this Bill - in particular the diagonal lines and the cream and lavender colors. And of course the dof decision supports that sumptuousness. I feel like I'm looking at dessert tray. Really superb photography. I envy you the image. (smile)

Bill:
A very interesting arrangement; looks to me like the two are having a conversation. Lovely color.

Beautiful, Bill. I like the colors in the image in the PA gallery the best--not that we're voting :smile: IMO, the appeal of this image comes from the flower centers echoing each other and drawing the eye back and forth. The bend of the petal on the upper right is a bit distracting but not a deal breaker.

Cheers,

Carol

Two of your infinite lilies! Here I love the delicate nuances of the colors. Bill, I love very much the light saturations but, in this case, I surely like better this version.
Cheers.

I have always found these hard to capture Bill, but, you have done a wonderful job.

Excellent comp Bill. The color in these blooms is excellent. Very, very pretty. I feel like I need to plant me some day lilies. Is Exuberance the name of the variety?

Nathan

Nathan: I'm not 100% sure but I think these are Wild Horses. I'll ask Chrissy if she has a certain ID.
