Stunning shot Mary and can almost feel the rain drops from here! The lighting is wonderful and the see through reflection on the body of the bloom just makes it that much better! Nice sharp focus with perfect framing to show off the gorgeous bloom! Nice capture!

Wonderful shot of this Calalily, the water drops bring great freshness to it. Excellent focus, exposure and framing with great dof to support it.:)

You captured this cally very well! I have seen a few on here but I think this one beats them. The rain drops help. Clarity and lighting are very good. -Sherry

A super bright and fresh looking lily with spot on focus, good dof and framed with the nice sunny exposure. Top of the line shot.

This is so lovely. I love the shape and the striking yellow stamin. The raindrops are really nice too. Nestled in the green leaves it stands out. Nice shot, great photo! :)

Comment from terry1938
Great shot Mary, beautifully framed and well captured. Your camera work is excellent, and the lighting is really spot on, the water droplets are of course a bonus. The muting of the background also helps your subjevct stand out very well. Excellent work. Did you get my Picasa album?

Thanks Terry, so pleased you like this one and thanks for the extra special rating. I did get your album, really impressive photos looks like you had a great trip. Sorry for delay, was going to respond on the album comments but my computer crashed and I didn't get back to it. Definitely will plan a trip to that area once the other half retires :) Cheers Mary
