This is really a lovely Lilly, and the colors are really beautiful. The combination of yellow, orange and red are just stunning. The little we see of the background is also very nice.

Your focus is pin sharp showing lovely details in the petals and the stamens. It is fantastic stamens in this flower. They are so big and they really stand out bright and clear and very detailed. Your use of light is excellent and has made your flower shine and really pop.

I also like very much the tight cropping and the placement of the flower within the frame. Perhaps just a tad more negative space at the top would have been nice though. This is a well taken close up, and your image is nicely balanced and with a nice DOFF.

This is a great macro shot, you really did an outstanding job with focusing here. Colors and lighting are so beautiful, I love the hint of green in the background, gives the balance to the photo. Thanks so much for sharing this beauty.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


What a bright and exciting close up...orange and yellow are such happy colours.

COMPOSITION
Vertical was the only way to go here and the stamens leaning show dynamism. The pops of negative space are also very complimentary.

It's a very personal and close up shot of stamens, couldn't get any closer.

TECHNIQUE
Your macro technique is very good but what I find terribly distracting is that white out of focus part of the stamen about 6 cm down from the top left hand side. Then beside it is that white frill which keeps yanking at my eye and my eye gets pulled out of the image. That is the only piece of constructive criticism I can find to offer you, not that you could have done anything about it...except of course change flowers.

A delightful upload otherwise.

Comment from foureyes


sharp, lovely colors, strong vertical development from the stalks and petals. muliple points of interest (primarily the center of the flower and the cluster of stalks ends).
