Bob: Another beauty. I like this as is and could also see this cropped tighter. Nicely done.>=))>

Nice one, Bob. I like the neat fringe on the stamens.

Bob:

The lily is really beautiful especially with the parallel filaments sharply in focus.

I don't mind the cluster in bg except for the curving leaf from the left to the top of the lily which bother me a little. A little tidying up before the shoot saves a lot of time in post processing.

Gorgeous color. I like Bill's suggestion on the tighter crop.

Hi, Bob. To me it looks like there's a little blur in the flower. The tiniest puff of wind catches these blossoms like a sail. That's why I rarely get to post any garden lilies! The colors are wonderful in what looks to be a new bloom, and there's a terrific glow in the flower center-- well chosen exposure to get it that way. I'd suggest a tighter, square-ish crop to emphasize the subject.
