I pulled out this pink & yellow Peruvian Lily from the flower shop, to my wife..
The bouquet was all the same flower, just several different flavors:smile:
F/16, 1/200th, ISO 400, 5D M2, Sigma 150mm f/2.8 around 8:30am and clear/sunny.

Those are beauties, Howard. The freckled yellow section adds such a nice touch of contrast. Hey, nobody said flowers can't do double duty. :wink:

Well composed, excellent detail and appropriate DOF—plus a sweet background. Good job, Howard! :toast:

An beautiful work for me, Howard, and an excellent control of the lights on the petals. Lovely image.

As nice an alstroemeria shot as I can recall, Howard !! They look just great in this dappled light ( it seems to suit their somewhat exotic colouring ), and this is a particularly fine bunch.
