This Lily was taken last summer indoors. There was just enough backlight to complete the shot.
Hope you like it.

I like the subtle textures that show up in the petal from the backlighting Albert.

Albert:
Nice lighting and I agree there is just enough light here to show the fine texture of the petals and subtle colors.

Splendid angle and composition Albert. It seems taken with a much shorter lens. Splendid.
Take care.

Albert,

Your choices in making this image have already been praised in previous comments, so I won't be repetitious but say, I agree, well done.
