Calla Lilies in the garden in our front yard;
Photo taken at 11PM; tripod with a 10 second exposure, using handheld flashlight for illumination on each bloom.
Yes, this is the same photographic session from which I entered other photos into "Moods" and "Late Night". I haven't seen much of this on DPC and figured I'd give it a try: that is, entering the same composition (though entirely different photos), into successive challenges, each photo with different tones, styles, yet connected by subject, composition and yes, even by title.
To be quite frank, the other two photos were entered as sidekick setup shots to prepare the viewer for this photo, the "Deja Vu" moment, when the DPC voter has the "AHA" experience, or "Wait a minute! I've seen this photo before on a previous challenge!" Of course, this is exactly what happens in real night dream life. So this photo is an absurd attempt at replicating in photography (through a series of three photos) what someone experiences in their dreams.
P/S: For this challenge, I took my photoshop friends, Mr. Hugh-Saturation and Mr. Colour-Balance out for a dreamy joyride. They seemed to be in the mood for a fantasy.

Truely a Deja Vu of beauty! I love the soft color and radiance of each calla lily. Each sucessive shot got a little better not only in quality but in score too. While the third masterfully emmulated the best qualities of the previous two photos, also adding its own mystic. Congrats on the fifth place!
Oh yeah.
Bet I'm not the first to post a 'candles' comment by saying it looks like a set of candles : )
Painted light? A beautiful job however it was done. Less keen on the flower in the bottom right - maybe even better without it? The other two are absolutely spot on though.
I always wondered if it would be possible to make the same shot (or at least the same composition) work it's way into 3 or 4 simultaneous challenges!!!
STILL a nice shot! GL.
Very nice. Ive alway been curious how people managed to run electricity to there flower to get such nice lighting. Fits the challenge well. I would like to have seen the pistil on the bottom right flower, just to add to the uniformity. Otherwise great image. Nice job
TRES BELLE!... i like the purple color the most for sure, really the strongest of the three in my opinion (have a seen the third) haha, great shot... an 11 from me
