Very nicely done. Great detail in the blossom "veins" and good shadow detail around most of the base of the flower.

A nice abstract. I think I'd have cloned out the dark bit protruding down from the top edge, though. It detracts from the stronger parts of the image.

WOW... WOW... WOW... What an awesome lily, and I love the bright orange burst of color so very much.

Almost fluid like, and just stunning that's for sure.....

Definitely one of my favorites in this August side challenge, and definitely a favorite for sure, and must go into 'my favorites' right now.

ooo day 1? I don't feel so bad about falling behind. ;) This was worth the wait actually. I love the pops of black against the deep orange! There are 2 distracting elements in this image. They are both along the top. You can clone them out or crop just below them for greater impact. If you crop from the top, you elongate the image and give it a more dramatic and abstract feel. Gorgeous!
Looking forward to day 2!
