Lily 2

comments appreciated, thank you!

Dick... I like the dark, saturated background in this shot and the composition is unique, but I think I prefer the more classic presentation of #1. Wow, the 18-200mm continues to amaze me, considering it's pedigree... Have a great week... Mike

 

 

 

Usualy I prefer dark bg that in my opinion show better main subject and create a strong composition,so I like tis one,best regards Radu.

Well done!

Simple. Strong. Effective presentation of a perfect blossom at its elegant peak of attraction to the pollinators too. gs

Thank you all for the very kind comments! It's hard to pass up these flowers, especially when they are highlighted by the sun.

 

Mike, I'm still glad that I have my 18-200 as a general purpose lens...no matter how many trash it in the forum discussions. Like all of our equipment, it has it's sweet spots and it's limitations.

 

Have a good day!

I missed #1, so I'll have to check it out before offering a comparison, but I do really like this one. Deep rich color and very sharp!

Thank you George and Tim!

 

 

Beautiful capture. I love the downward perspective, and the rich clean tones. Nice work, Richard.

Thank you very much, Liz!

 

Best regards!
