Daylily

An usual composition for the Daylily. One of the first blooms here.

ND300s, AFD300mm F/4 Micronikkor with 36mm ET @ F/16, 1/20 Sec, ISO400, Tripod and Diffuser.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Chamomile (later on I found out that this is a Feverfew aka Tanacetum parthenium) and do let me know your thoughts on this one.

Amazingly beautiful, Ram. Maybe even the height of femininity with the pinks. :toast: :toast:

I love the color, and the sharpness is excellent Ram. Very, very nice. I planted some day lillies this year, but I don't know if I will get any blooms out of them this year or not.

I see you went to a great deal of thought when composing this as the stamens don't overlap the curling petals which,IMO, would have been distracting. Nice stuff.

Ram - a real beauty. I like the perspective and - of course - your usual fine detail.

I surely can't add to what the others have said Ram.
One of the most pleasing Daylily images I've ever seen :toast: :toast:

I really like the balance between the frilly petal edges and the gracefully curving stamen with the linear veins and soft colors of the petals. Very nice.

Beautiful picture. I love the colors and how the stamen are bursting out of the yellow.
