I love the cool tones here, Bill! A dynamic comp and the color and light are superb. The dark background gives it almost a 3D effect. :toast:

Looks like Mardi Gras! A sweet color combo and a black BG to pop it; what more could you ask?

Very pretty. The black background really makes it pop. Maybe the yellow could be a tad brighter.

You captured a very fine combination of colors and growth stages. I also like your comp.

What Mark and Phil said - great contrasting color combination, made even better against the black bg, Bill. Elegant comp as well.

Bill - The purple and yellow is a terrific combination always and really provides the contrast there. The lighting really helps this fram stand out. Muted but just enough to highlight the Lilies.

Beautifully composed, Bill, with great colour. The oof petal and the slightly soft stems perfectly set off the crisp bud and flower. Very lovely image !!
