Our newest daughter in law gave this calla to my wife for Christmas. Just started working it today and have found a number of good comps to share. It was a bit tougher working with these than the irises since I can't arrange them but just have to take what is there. All comments welcome.>=))>

Love the frame filling contrasting purple and green colors, Bill. And the title. Well done.

Bill, cool Calla color combo!

Hard to know where to stop with a bunch like this, but I think you did well with it.

Hey Bill,
I'll take what is there any day with results like this. The colors and lighting are first rate, the water droplet is perfect.
Your images are a real inspiration to view . . .

A bold and strong composition, Bill, with that tiny droplet a real bonus and some lovely rhythms along the leaf edges. I much admire how you've seen the possibilities here in such a crowd of callas !!

Bill, the colors are utterly gorgeous. Thumbnail shows it through to the larger version. The light on this works. Nice little jewel-drop too.

I like the depth from the directional light.

Fabulous. I've been trying to capture these for years but not quite there yet. I like the vertical crop but wonder if maybe it could use a little more space on either side.
