Another view

Here is another view of the lilly. This is a little lower point of view than some people like but I was having fun anyway. This was taken in my bathroom under a skylight and I used a defused flash to light from below, and a reflector to soften some of the shadows.

ISO 400, 60mm macro, f36, 1.6 seconds

I like the low point of view. You did a very good job with the lighting. Also, the detail and color excellent.

Well taken! I see no flaws whatever, and the details and lighting are exceptional. The flower looks a little past peak, but I don't think you could have gotten more out of it.

Bill F. also makes some great photos in his bathroom studio!

Nice angle, Steve. I like the details. I wish that the back petal did not appear so straight, but that is beyond your control. Nice work on this one.

Hey Steve,
I'm in agreement that the lower point of view in this image works very well. Your studio set-up resulted in an excellent composition in all respects.
Well done . . . devil
