Naked Lady( Amaryllis belladona). Decided to just darken the the bg an crop to show the flowers.  Adusted contrast and color contrast and added a little "glow" filter.  Thanks for viewing and any remarks.

Floyd, this is gorgeous.
I have NEVER been able to get a decent image of the ladies.
Thanks for a great lesson..
The black BG sets of the soft pink perfectly, fine detail, and the glow is exceptional.
A tiny tiny nit - this works very well centered, but it needs to move a tad to the right.

Nicely made, Floyd. A beautiful well crafted image! A slight move to the right for the subject would not hurt my feelings any.cool

Floyd, I do like the glow and the nice contrast between the black bg and colorful flowers.

Lovely comp and processing. The glow works very well on these lilies. I like the black background in this one. It seems to fit perfectly.

Besides the beauty of these lilies as presented, the depth of field makes the image three dimensional.  A wonderful image!
