Callalily

It may be surprising to many of you but I really like callalilies. Actually I like any type of lily. I attended an event at work on Friday and the centerpieces had callalilies in them and some wonderful person saved one and gave it to me.

Version one.


Decided to do a little photo manipulation so here is version two of the same photo, which actually I find very attractive.

I do like the muted colors. If you are willing to experiment further, you might try toning down the white flowers just a little so that they are a little less distracting.

And thanks for the suggestion.

Clearly the beauty of this forum. Wonderful suggestions that truly make us better photographers.

Nice--I can't make up my mind which I like best but muting the white sounds like a good suggestion. I wouldn't have thought of it, but should have!

That's why I like this place.

just for the lovely color. But I'll be curious to see the white muted, or the light parts of the flower made a bit more white to balance the white flowers out.
The composition is flawless to me. I really like it.
