Jo,
A beautiful picture of this Golden yellow Lily it's face to the sun just waiting for a flying insect to pollinate it. Beautifully framed by it's green foliage & dark background. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Thank you Susan

Comment from supergold
a very beautiful lily indeed Jo; the few water drops are a bonus;
but it can always be improved ;
the most important point: avoid centering it;

Comment from Ray Gordon
This is a fine photo of a Yellow Lily in all its glory, ready for the pollinators. I use to have lilies and when I had to weed the pollen would get all over me but they were beautiful. Thank you for sharing this beauty. Ray

Comment from Jewell McChesney
Stunning photography of this lovely yellow lily! I adore these flowers! Every Spring I have a new colored lily show up and this year, we had several with the doubled petals.
This yellow lily with the red center is gorgeous.
You have captured a perfect shot.
Great exposure and balance. Focus is perfect. Seeing the raindrops just adds that much more intrigue!

Hi Jo, Your lovely yellow lily dominates the page. The color just bursts out! Love the focus and the lighting. The blurred background was perfect to set the lily off. Really enjoyed the view! Good Luck in the contest! :o) Nancy

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that beautiful bloom. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Thanks Nik for a great review.

Comment from FBI GUY
I had to check twice to make sure this was not an outstanding piece of artwork. Your soft touch of color and focus is so well done. The lighting adjustments along with the vignette add to the feeling of being painted. Focus and and cropping almost allows us to smell the fragrance of the bloom. I also grow lilies and have posted some photos recently. Stunning work!
