POTD: Lilly Pond

[singlepic id=1217 w=320 h=240 float=left]  Taken at Knighthayes House in Devon,  I was pleased to get Photograph of the Day at Photography Cafe with this simple Lilly image. The reviewer at the Cafe had this to say.

Lillies are beautiful flowers but difficult to get right because they are so white and always set against dark green. There is no way of shooting them against sky. So it is nice to see that Jane didn’t blow the detail in the petals yet kept the dark area detail as well. By keeping the focus on the foreground flower, the other flowers fall into a nice progressive blur that gives depth to the picture.
