Serenity

Nikon D300, Nikkor 70-200 2.8 @125mm. F/5.6, 1/800, ISO 200.

Hopefully the very soft detail, light and color merits the title. Comments appreciated.

This is beautiful Albert. I love the flow of the lily and the interesting but not competing background.

Wonderful light and background. I like the pov with the anthers and stamen rising out of the flower. Very lovely.

Albert, This is absolutely lovely. Superb pastel shades all around and just the right depth of field. Was not aware you had that 70-200 gem with you.

Very good work :toast: :toast:

Albert, my first thought was soft and tranquil. It has a moody feel to it. The muted bg works! It looks like it was almost captured in a fog or misty setting. Beautiful. :toast:

This is really pristine, Albert! Fine whites against a fun "polka dot" background that is cheery but does not overwhelm the subject and compliments it instead. Very creative.
