So now I learned that those cool ribbons you use in your works are called fractals :) I like the way you place those in your pieces. The light is very attractive across the flowers and draws the eyes into the detailed centers well. I think the black and white has accentuated the design and texture of the petals. The clarity is so sharp that the image has a three dimensional appearance.

I really love the low key style with dappled light. Your focus is razor sharp, white balance Controlled and the added fractal ribbon is the cherry on top.
Congratulations Cara.
This is elegant and classy just like You!
Bravo!

Hi ,, thanks for sharing this stunning photo of the Lilium blooms in black and white tones. You have really created a beautiful scene with the lighting striking just a portion of the delicate petals, making them contrast against the dark background perfectly. It brings out a real sheen on the surface of the petals that makes them almost look surreal. I love the angle used to capture their beauty and draw the eye to the delicate stamen boasting their form in the centres of each of the flowers. The interesting background is most appealing to the eye and adds its own soft texture to the overall setting. The balance is spot on, and most appealing to the eye . A visually attractive scene that emanates a feeling of joy. thanks for sharing this delightful display of liliums. A brilliant exhibition and a pleasure to review. best of luck in the contest. cheers mel

This is a beautiful entry for the Competition. The lighting in this photo is excellent and it looks like the lilies appear to be lit from within. Dramatic and beautifully displayed detail with a lovely sheen. I like the fractal in this photograph, it gives it an extra touch of beautiful shading. Best of luck in the contest.

Excellent shot. Nicely captured low light image of lilies with very sharp focus. The added "ribbon" swirling through the arrangement adds a touch of movement and interest to the image. Well done. Good luck in the contest.
