Naked Lady Lilly is very popular in our neighborhood. It takes a single bulb many years to produce abundant clusters (the garden I photographed was planted 10 years ago). It started blooming here beginning of August.
What technical feedback would you like if any?
Couldn’t get both flowers in perfect focus. Is it a problem? Wanted to blur the background at its most.
What artistic feedback would you like if any?

Lana: I like this very much. I think your DOF works just fine. The anthers on both flowers are sharp and for me that’s critical to success on an image like this. I like the comp with the buds behind and to the side. There’s a dynamism that I find especially attractive. Most excellent. >=))>
It is looks beautiful, @Patricia_Brundage! I went to the lily patch today morning to take more pictures. They look so different. We are in the middle of heatwave. Lily flowers lost all that amazing deep pink hue. They are almost white now. Such a short time to bloom for them this year.
Excellent image. I think the two stems to the left help frame the main subject. I like the recomposed image also. Lovely colors and contrast. Flowers look very sharp.
