The Texture of A Lily. (Larger view available).

I like the way this is presented,  the folded foreground with the subtle shadow and lovely detailed textures.  But it is the shallow dof and the delicate drops of moisture that captivate!

Compliments!

Thank you very much for your wonderful comments.

In every picture there are strong and weak points...and your comments tell me that the strong points overwhelm the weak ones..some people might think that there is a lot of dead space on the top third, well a panoramic crop is one answer,I tried it and some how I was not very pleased with it. I will welcome any suggestions.

You precisely exposed these difficult white tones and textures Dimitri... also nice artistic crop...!!!
