Surprise Lilies 1

I am posting two photos of Surprise Lilies (I've also heard them called "Naked Ladies") in response to my get pushed challenge from Kathy @myhrhelper: "For your 3rd option for the get pushed challenge is a soft, airy, happy, sweet, light feel." She gave me a description of how I might achieve that. This is my first attempt, taken out at the "Old Home Place" this morning. It's not very well composed (flowers cut off at top and bottom); I took it in a hurry just before I left to come into town. I like the way they look against the sky, though. I'd like to try again with better composition and maybe the background totally sky. I'm posting on yesterday's date (Monday). The other one, taken in town at home this afternoon has the stone wall in the background: http://365project.org/mcsiegle/365/2013-08-06
@myhrhelper Kathy, am I going in the right direction? Should I be taking the settings and processing you suggested further? Any suggestions?

I like this one too. I like the composition of the other shot the best and the background of this one. Mary you did a fantastic job on this challenge. I am still working on my challenge. It's been cloudy and my schedule has been crazy but I know I'll get a chance to work on it soon.
