This has become a fairly conventional comp for me so I hope it is not getting cliched. Another from our last day lily. I especially liked the light play on the stamens, anthers and pistil and the shadows as well. All comments welcome.>=))>

The color is very appealing to me, and I like the way you composed it. Nicely done Bill.

The light is very fine in this Bill, especially in the larger version where it's more apparent - same applies for the shadows. I also like the muted yet rich color palette. As far as the comp is concerned, it would be hard for me to complain about someone selecting the composition that best shows the features that interest them. This is another beautiful image and the light and detail in the center makes it exceptional for my tastes.

Classic, but great Bill. I agree completely with your assessment Bill. A beautiful portrait.

You've become the master of the day lily images Bill. No nits here.

Great shot again, Bill

. I always like to see how the light brings out that crackled texture in the petals. !

I like all those things you mentioned, too, Bill. Especially like the gradient of color in this flower.

The lighting always sets off your images Bill, and gives each one an individual look. I particularly like the comp on this one as well.
