Excellent choice of subject. Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Looks like a floral firework!
Better if this was captured a week ago when the lower layer of florets were not yet withered...

Gorgeous illumination.
Nice interplay between light and darkness.

Best of luck in the contest!.

Thanks for sharing...

A very nice composition. The flowers are shown in excellent detail and very fine colors that show up nicely against that background. Best wishes in the contest.

A pretty good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine, full and central composition offers us an enjoyable view of your rather incredible lily. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
