Yes, Bill, simple but effective. The POF on the curving petal edge holds the viewer's interest, and I like the shades of white.

Very elegant. Would it be good to remove the green stem in the upper right? Maybe it would be even more elegant then, with the black and white (as in colors, not as in B&W images) effect?

Nice range of tones in the white Bill. Nice focus on the edge of the bloom. Very pretty.

Definitely one of those cases where a gap works, Bill. Love the line of the petal edge, the sense of depth and the soft whites. Beautiful !

Wonderful flowing lines and control of the whites Bill. Mood inspiring in my opinion.

Beautiful abstract image. I enjoy photographing calla lilies. For my personal taste, I would have cloned out the upper right corner. :toast:
