Sorry I've been a little absent lately....other obligations keep getting in the way. OH Well

Some fantastic stuff you all have been posting!!!

This is quite probably my all time favorite, but mostly because it is my own and right outside my front door. I was especially pleased by the color of this bloom. Actually I had fogotten all about having planted these until this grouping appeared one day.

An elegant grouping Barb, and the soft glow on the petals is a nice touch.

Beautiful Barb.. in fact, all the images of late here in the forum are absolutely exquisite! I wish I could comment on more, but I am fighting a painful ear infection, and having trouble sitting in front of the computer. Everyone should be very proud of the great end of year images they are posting!!!

The colors are great, Barb and a nice arrangement. There seems to be some artifacts/halos going on around the anthers. Nicely done.

Barb: Impressive and striking image that makes me recall your Grand Finale, one of my all time favorite Flora images. Superbly crafted image from capture to presentation. >=))>

The dramatic lighting sets this above the standard shot. Just exotic colors and light.

Brilliant lighting, Barb ! The overall dark cast of the image and the deep purples set a mood of luxuriance which seems to me to capture the qualities of these lilies beautifully.
