Arum Lillies

These were taken, although not used, for our FB challenge this week. They were taken in bright sunlight but the fence behind is black and I quite liked the effect it created so I added a vignette.

I apologise for the mass upload but if I don't do it now it'll be worse by this time next week as I can see another busy week looming

I wish I could say the black background was intentional but it was just a happy accident as the lily is near our fence.
