Very nice composition. May be I'd try with stronger BG to allow better contrast. Otherwise very well done Albert.

Nice capture of all the detail in this beautiful flower. Like Miro, I am not sure about the background.

Love the colors and pov Albert. I'm also ok with the bg but might crop some from both sides to de-emphasize it some. The droplets are a nice touch. Good looking image for my tastes.

Interesting lily Albert. Tremendous range of colour within the single flower. I would agree with Pat that a tighter crop to put all the focus on the lily and minimize the BG.

The colours are indeed wonderful, Albert ! Beautifully rendered petals - though I just wonder about a bit of a crop from either side ? Incidentally, this looks like an iris to me, though I have never seen one with these colours.

Wonderful colors in this flower, and nice lighting for your portrait. I agree about the crop of the sides to put more emphasis on this beautiful shot, Albert!

Albert,
I think the repost works better to bring out the wonderful colors of this flower.

Albert: I do prefer the crop. As for the BG, I would be tempted to take this to pure white or pure black. Beautiful flower. >=))>
