I love canna lilies but they’re sometimes a tough flower to shoot. Came across this beauty at the Mercer Arboretum last week with a nice dark BG of trees. I considered cloning away the partial bud in the LLC but decided to leave it. Your thoughts with regard to that are appreciated. All comments welcome. >=))>

I really like this, Bill. I can’t think of a think to do to improve it.

Very nice, Bill. An excellent little composition and very colorful too…:+1:

Yummy color and nice BG Bill!

I agree that Cannas are difficult to shoot. My only suggestion would be to reduce the vibrant colors just a bit to allow more detail to show.

Thanks for posting this beauty.
