Dos Lilies + repost

Gallery: FloraPosted June 26, 201162 views9 comments

I'm sorry if these lily pics. are repetitive, but I felt it was a very productive day. These two (dos) caught my eye as I was leaving, and is pretty much as taken. I left everything in because I like it as natural as possible. Thanks for all the help and suggestions on the previous posts.
D80, 70-300 @ 300, ISO 100, F18, polarizer, tripod, shutter release.
Again, all comments and suggestions appreciated.

I particularly like the warm light in this Bob. And while I certainly like the blooms, I think it's the color, shapes and textures of the pads that really makes the image for me. I can see why you left everything as is in this.

Beautiful image.

Very nice tweens. I like the overall arrangement. I am not sure if the light reduction would bring a bit more contrast of the white section. I'd also suggest erasing the part of the leaf in lower right corner. Overall very good image. Well done Bob.

Bob: Wonderful lighting on this duo and a fine result IMO. I agree with Miro about making the bud under your © go away. I do like the upturned pad and how the light hits it. Even the party crasher is pretty cool. Keep 'em coming! >=))>

I am impressed with how clean the foliage is. The leaves in particular get beaten up quite a bit in my experience. I can see why you decided to keep everything in the frame. Well seen and captured Bob.

Bob:
Love the low angle light on these white flowers. As other as commented, the leaves add a lot to the image. The dye in the water makes the black bg which is a nice contrast to the white. My only minor suggestion is to make the tip of the bud in the RLC disappear.

I really like this image. The comp and colors really work well together. The second image is the better one.
