Chrissy bought these yellow callas to plant in our garden but I highjacked them before she could get them in the ground and did some indoor work with them. I couldn't decide if I liked the flowers or leaves better so here is one of each in high key. All comments welcome. >=))>

This is so high key it almost disappears! I am wondering what it would look like if the flower was darkened. The arrangement is nice but just a hair too translucent to my eyes. Perhaps others will think differently.

Bill, I like the arrangement and the comp. I could wish for just a touch more contrast.

Beautiful subjects but just a bit too high-key for me. This seems to have a milky coating-like finish which, along with the brightness, makes the flower and leaves feel like they are barely visible. Since your wife is planting these in your garden, I hope we get to see more images of these beautiful flowers and/or leaves in the future.

This one not as strong as your 2nd post, Bill, but as with the other one, it's a great idea.
