This is as lovely an image of the ` Peruvian lily ' as I can recall, Albert ! It always strikes me as a flower that floats in the air like a prayer flag, and you've captured that feel beautifully with this high key rendering and excellent composition.

It's easy to get hooked on high key.

The lighting and colors are wonderful. Especially that splash of yellow. I like the way the anthers (???) are attracted to it. The very subtle gradients in the background are also nice.

Hi Albert, beautiful...presentation angle of the bloom is spot-on, dof ...super, and the fresh condition is absolute eye-candy. My one nit,....must be me...as others seem unfazed... I would try to brighten the b/g so that the darker shadow-ish portions are gone. A minor nit.... Beauty, as is. Well done.

I really love this one, Albert! The angle, the colors, and the hi key effect are all excellent. I would crop slightly from the left because I am distracted by the tiny leaf peeping in with the stem, but that is so minor! Really excellent work.
