The lighting is very nice & I like the white on white! Also your DOF is amazingly good & the detail in the whites is well presented. Good timing as well as today is our Easter!

Albert, this is LOVELY! The soft light and white background give the dual blessings of nearly shadowless detail and just enough of a backlighting effect to show the delicate transluscence of the petals. :toast: :toast:

Beautiful! For some reason, no one has posted Easter Lily images this year - sure glad you are! For me, just too busy to get any plants this year.

Beautiful image, Albert! Great DOF. I like the way the subtle green color on the lily shows up against the white bg. Also the soft blue color in the upper right side of the bg is very nice.

Beautiful, Albert. The high key treatment looks to be perfect for this lily. The details are great.

Lovely composition, Albert - I especially like the way the eye moves from the sharpness of the stem to the faded out tips of the petals. And the colours in the centre really glow !

Albert, one must look at the larger photo for appreciating all the beauty of this image. It's the first time that I see this flower in High-Key. Splendid!
Take care.

This is excellent. The white on white works perfectly, keeping the presentation simple and elegant. Among your best work I'd say!
