I felt lucky to find an orange colored flower, especially living in the desert where I do. I took this photo to honor somebody who has been a very kind friend to me. A simple photo search using the word 'Lillies' with only 'title' & 'challenge' checked would have lead a body to this photo
from digifotojo. Take care Jo, hope to see you around from time to time...

I was unable to locate an image with a title like this and the challenge description does say "The title should refer to the original" so I have to vote this a DNMC: 1
Hard to get this type of flower in total focus. Plus the light is a bit harsh and the background is a bit distracting. Love the color of the columbine though. I just bought a Plamp for holding flowers while you take the photo. It's about $30 and works great! I can put the flower where I want it and it holds still so you can get a good background and not worry about the wind blowing it around. It doesn't do any damage to the flower. Look on B&H website.
I'm not able to find the original on this one. Overall, this is an ok photo. Some things that could help it be better: Less distracting background, especially the lighter areas (to get this, you could have cropped and then used some advanced editing techniques to turn down background brightness).
