Thanks to all that voted this probably is my best shot. I can't believe though that 33 people voted 4 or less on this shot, even got a 1 and two 2's. I'm always amazed at the votes given.

Good macro. Focus and lighting are right on.

Lilies are a bear to shoot, at least for me. They are some beautiful flowers but it is hard to get a really great angle and see the whole flower . You've about done that here and like that your focus was good enough so that the the most front petal is entirely clear and sharp. Like the shadow too. My only nit is that the crop is a bit too tight at the top and loses part of one stamen or pistil or whatever that thing is that has the dark pollen on that stains your clothes. Well done otherwise.

Very nice lighting. The crop feels a little tight at the top - I would have like to see all of the stamens. Good color and great textures and detail.

I counted 70 flower shots in this challenge. This one is my favorite. I really like the color. The focus and lighting are perfect. The shadow adds a nice touch. 10

The light is too mixed giving some dark and some overexposed areas..
