very nice close up of these lily flowers; no idea why they are called belladonna: nothing to do with belladonna; beautiful pink color, excellent lighting and sharp focus;

Beautiful composition. The pink lilies pop right out against the dark background. The clarity is remarkable and the shades are beautiful. Nicely done.

A fresh image of the lilies. I love the pink color and nice depth, like the delicate textures and excellent frame. The focus is sharp. Good job.

Comment from jrconrad
Aptly name flowers, beautifully photographed. I'm afraid, being a child of the 60s, "belladonna" suggests to me an intoxicating drug! Well, perhaps we can say these are intoxicating as well. Nice shot. Cheers, James.

They sure are beautiful. Love the dark background, sharp focus and framed with an even exposure all showing the delicate details. How neat to see the grouping like this and no leaves. Good job.

A very fine shot with outstanding colors and a fine natural background. I love the flat light which gives you such beautiful details and excellent color palette.

Very nice close up of these lovely Belladonna Lilies. I like the angle you used for this showing the lilies facing different ways. The softened background really help them stand out.

Lighting and focus very good showing great detail. Very nice composition. Suzanne
