Just added a lens flare and then turned to to B&W. Please let me know

This is really special. Really like the way the bands of light play on the leaves and the lilly is so soft. Terrific!!...RAY

Very nice view and idea Sonia. Although I myself am a 'color man' sometimes a black and white photo has something special.. still would have loved seeing this one also in color. One nit point.. what happend above the flower? Seem a sort of 'haze' hanging over .. diffrent than 'halo. Thank you for sharing and have a good weekend ..a smile from Holland:

Thank you both so much Rita and Alberto. I am so glad to hear from you. Thank you for your time and kind comments

Lily of love does stand out and above the mundane dark leaves of life. I would love to see some details of the petals of the lily. The sharpest focus is on the leaves on left mid. I tried to play with it a bit in PSCS3 but you have an embedded color profile that limited the changes. I was able to get some separation of petals by reducing the intensity of white (in shadow highlight) Your idea is superb. sharp and detailed lily will take it to a higher level.

Looked at your portfolio very artistic. Thanks for your comments on three of my pictures. Coming from you that means a lot to me. Regards ifti
