Sorry Refracted.. not sure exactly what to say about this shot! I think it's simply stunning. The lighting is a bit harsh in places but I don't think it detracts at all - more like enhances the petels and makes them look silky. I absolutely love the composition. Great great stuff.
Good job and I can't wait to see your entries with the F717!

The glare kinda ruins it for me. Its not that it isn't natural or anything, but it sure makes it seem a lot less natural with that. Aside from that its a very nice shot.
Good exposure of this lilly (white is hard, harder in B&W). The pestal and stamen show up much better at this angle than the other \"similar\" shot (this one is MUCH better. Comment removed, my bad). 8 Rob the Swash
I love the idea and it's a very good attempt. I just find that there's not enough range in tones in this image. I would have liked to see darker tones on the inside of the lily fading to lighter tones at the tips or vice versa.. it would help give some dimension to this flower. 6
Lovely night blossom. You really have captured its essence as a night-blooming flower, at least that's what the title and image tell me. The lighting may be a bit bright and harsh, taking away from the delicacy of the bloom, but this is a wonderful image.
Because there is another lily picture similar to this one, I can't help but compare the two. Where the other one was too dark for my liking, with this one, the brightness/contrast is well balanced. The focus and detail are perfect. Where the position is not entirely wrong with this one, I like the position of the flower better on the other one.
This is gorgeous. Would have preferred a more natural plant, so 9 rather than 10 as that's the only problem I have with it, even though it is in the flora kingdom.
