very interesting image. I like the flower being in the "clouds". may be it could use a little bit more space on the top.

I like the effect you created. There is a heavenly sense about the photo. Maybe a little more space in the upper left corner?

Nice HK look Ian. I like the vignette and how the flower seems to be emerging from haze in the bottom of the shot.

Well done. The treatment of the lily itself is nice but what stands out for me is the bottom portion and how the stem disappears toward the bottom of the frame.

Wonderful, airy look. The flower seems to float in the clouds,

Ian:
Ethereal! Bold composition using white flower for a high key image. Great plane of focus to get the tip and the edge sharp. Wish for wee bit more room on the left.

Creamy and dreamy! Lovely capture. Smartly composed...I like the touch of blue and soft lost stem.

The soft look is great. I agree that more room is need to the upper left.

Beautiful - soft, subtle lily. Love the high-key treat,ment, and the tip poking up.
I agree a little more room on top would further strengthen the image.

I love this Ian, the suggestions on more room are taken, but to me this bloom feels like it is floating up through the frame, so I like the composition shown. Superb image in my opinion.

This is really lovely! I think I would have liked just a tiny bit more room on the left, I like the border, but it takes up some of your space! How many images did you stack?

Eirini ; thanks for your kind comment. I think it was a 3 or 4 image stack - maybe unnecessary but I wanted to make sure of the sharpness of the tip.
