Turk's Cap Lily

Almost an annual habit - grows at the same place every year. I have to shoot at least one of these blooms.

This bloom is past its prime as can be seen from the degrading stamens. There were fresher ones but this background was not possible (a man made structure was behind it). Some kind of a compromise in the end. If I had fresher specimen instead, the stamens would not have overlapped either.

ND300s, AFD200mm F/4 Micronikkor @ F/16, 1/60 Sec, ISO400 and Tripod.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Grass Seedhead and let me know if this appeals to you or not.
