Hi Sandy, A very interesting (positive sense) graphic shot - 'Simple' but very effective - Of course arriving at this sort of motif takes a good eye and a good feel for the final result - like it!

(Spathiphyllum wallisii)Peace lily. I love the lily, but I am ambivalent about the triangle of green leaf. Personally, I would remove it.

Love this composition, Sandy - the leaf makes it for me. I also like the way the soft light on the flower interior contrasts with the bright outside. My only other thought is whether this might take a slightly higher key - just a thought because I definitely like it as is.

Sandy: I've missed you posting here so welcome back and thanks for a really fine shot. I like the leaf and the overall comp of this marvelous subject. I like this very much as is and would also like to see it brightened a half stop or so. 2 thumbs up. >=))>
