Every morning it seems like I'm treated to one great scene after another with our day lilies. We have never had such a great crop and there is no end in sight. Loved how this little pretty welcomed the rising sun. Please view LARGE. All comments welcome.>=))>

Hi Bill,

Normally, I do not like shadows for flower pictures, but this time it works for the comp. The shadows of anthers and pistil pull the eye towards the soft center of the flower. The large view has some impressive detail. Good job with this daylily............Jim

Day lillies are tough to photograph because they require so much DOF to really show them off. You got this one just right. I can't wait for ours to start blooming here in Colorado/ (Still about a month off)

This is beautiful Bill! I love the deep rich colors. Wonderful sharpness and detail in the anthers. Very well done!

The large view really dramatizes the light. Couldn't be better, Bill!
