The stigma and anthers look like gold nuggets against the varied purple background. Comments appreciated.

Very nice, Albert. Love the gold dust popping against the nice pinkish/purple background

. Lilies lend themselves to some great compositions.

Albert:
Nice gold glitter on the stigma and anthers. Love the pink blush in the BG. Very well crafted.

Albert: DOF/POF choices on shots like this are always a challenge and you've met it well. Sharp where it should be and marvelous colors. >=))>

This is way cool, Albert. Very effective choice of dof and point of focus. The colors are sweet, too.

Gorgeous capture, Albert. Especially the tip of the anther looks like fool's gold. Wonderful soft pink surround.

The colours are amazing, Albert ! I love the tiny flecks of gold on the anthers, so sharp, and the background effect.
