What a delightful image of the lily, Wade! Perfect lighting to show the delicate yellows in the patals, and the flower center is gorgeous! Nice, nice job.
And btw, I borrowed a line from your playbook. I was at a local botanical garden and decided to try my 300 based on what you've been getting with it. Sure like the look. I even put a 35 mm extension tube on it for a few shots. What a kick. So, thanks for the inspiration. Heh-heh, long glass not just for wildlife any more!

Really nice shot, Wade. I like the soft light and wonderful out of focus background.
I know what you mean, Catherine. I can't wait to take my 300 with extension tubes out to the Iris and Dahlia farms this spring/summer.
