Lily

I don't know the name of this small lily, as it must have Hitchhiked to my house with some of my daylilies from the nursery. But, I love the color and flow of this stem of flowers. Hope you do, too.

Very pretty, Lucy. I like the dof management and the way the flowers stand out from the darker green bg.

A wonderful comp with a complimentary BG. I like this a lot Lucy, I only wish a tad more DOF to capture the detail in the petals of the left, top bloom. Very nice!

I like the way the flowers flow through the frame & the background really sets them off beautifully!

Wonderful color and bg. It really makes the blooms stand out and the colors 'pop',

Well shown! Beautiful blossoms and a lovely background. A good subject for a stack, if I do say so.

I agree with you, I also love the color and flow of this stem of flowers.

The green background works very well with these colorful flowers. The brighter areas in the background are a bit distracting but not a major problem. . .could easily be darkened a bit in processing. Nice comp of these "hitchhikers".

Nicely framed and orange is popping like fireworks on the fourth! Agree w/others regarding dof... and slim petals not fully filling out the space here...but that is mostly just the nature of the flower...well done!!
