Gigi - Wonderful. Great play between dark tones and whites. Both the Lilies being in great shape adds to the aesthetic appeal.

Reminds me a lot of some of your earlier, somewhat surreal images, Gigi. Marvellous use of the high contrast to bring out a play of forms - with the especial delight of the half hidden lilies.

Terrific use and management of the light, Gigi. The white lilies look lit from within.
