Thanks for your thoughts,

Ted, what's up? You shoot this kind of stuff yourself.

That's a wonderful shot of a tiger lily ; it brought me right back to when I was a kid hunting for crawfish and bull frogs in Zayante Creek in the Santa Cruz Mountains of northern California. The creek was dotted with these beautiful flowers on both banks.

Hi Jack, unfortunately, these aren't wild, but I do have an excellent garden to work with: my mother's.

 

Cheers,

Wild or cultivated... for me, it is a beautiful shot, superb details, congrats and regards.

Great image & powerful colors.The position & the way you are looking to the target is so wonderful and attractive.I think that it could have better focusing.

 

Best Wishes

Afshin, thanks for the comment. I think you might be on to something about the focus. Where would you like to see it? I placed it at the bottom of the leaf, towards the "heart" of the lily. Using a wide aperture to blur the background, resulted in only one anther in sharp focus.

 

Cheers,

Aaron

I like the focus you choiced amazing tones. Best Regards.
