    Hi MK.. This Amaryllis caught my eye because the light passing through the petals reminded me of sheer lingerie. Thank you for the fine review and rating. I'm glad you liked the post ... Bob
Comment from Glena Jessee-King


What a shot! The whole composition is truly picturesque. The light shining through making the flower more sheer adds so much. The background is also well done. I'm glad to see a small part of the green stem. Thanks so much for sharing. Outstanding capture and photography!

The amaryllis is such a showy flower, I usually grow them indoors during the holiday season, this year mine didn't grow.
I love the way you shot this face on with the light behind it . It emphasizes the way the petals overlap .
Well focused, this image is sharp and clear and it is easy to see the detail and texture of the red petals.
The flower is standing out beautifully from the soft blue/grey background .
I like also the shadows in background,
Well composed in the square format, well presented.

    Hi Pat.. Last year mine didn't grow - first time that ever happened.
    The winter sun is just low enough that this bay window makes a great plant growing environment. To say nothing about the great photo ops that occur from time to time indoors and out.
    Thank you so very much for great review and rating. I am glad you liked the post ... Bob

This is certainly a different photograph of a flower, as you say. The emphasis is on the petals, and the lighting is beautifully done to show the details of such.

The subtle color of these petals is quiet nice and with no distractions in this the main focus is on the flower head,dof is spot on as well,another fine nature shot....Brian

This wonderful photo captures the sheer elegance of the flower's petals, with their soft, delicate curves. Flowers represent the exquisite beauty of nature, capturing the eye with their intricate petals and unique shapes. You have done full justice to their beauty. A treat for tired eyes. My last SIX for the week. Well deserved.

Very nicely capture. I do enjoy the fine details of the petals very much and the backlighting helps to emphasize those details. Nicely done.
