Tiger Lily

Gallery: FloraPosted July 5, 2016167 views7 comments

While visiting Jenny's folks, I found some orange tiger lilies that were in bloom along their garage. The siding provided a nice white BG so I fired away. I liked the lighting and colors. K5 IIs 180mm f3.5 (1/90 sec at f22, ISO 800) Levels, Make It Glow, and rubber stamp tool to clean up some imperfections in the flower and BG. The large view has the best colors, smaller version is slightly oversaturated..........................Jim

Excellent, Jim. I like the white bg for the orange tiger lily, and the flower has excellent form, detail and color.

Yes, the larger view is beautiful. I love the special orange color well saturated, the simplicity, the neatness and the composition. I can't see any flaw.

Perfect perspective, bright colours, and the high-key treatment works great.
Very fine work!
