Quick shot with the Lumix, showing off its close focus range. Converted to BW/sepia in Lightroom, then a couple passes with Topaz in PSE 5 -- the first to bring out a little detail, the second to soften everything but the foreground flower. Played around with the colors in the frame quite a bit to get just the right white and grey/black from the colors in the pic.

I want to kick off my flipflops & scamper barefoot thru this field of lilies. Maybe you took a big chance w/a border but it suits this comp. The coppery sky in the BG draws my eye right thru the flowers.
