Gigi: I love callas too! Ours are coming in and should be blooming in about a month. This is just spectacular! The soft color palette with the high key is pure beauty. Many thumbs up!!! :toast: :toast: >=))>

A different view, but well done Gigi! The high key white on white with the touch of yellow-green is just right. The detail in the large image is just perfect. :toast:

Your title captures the essence of this calla, Gigi, but it could also be called "Purity." The white on white works well to convey a feeling of sweetness and purity.

Very lovely high key image, Gigi ! A splendid calla splendidly composed and lit - I love the delicacy of the colouring especially.
