Day 060, Year 2 - Valentine Lilies

These are Valentine's Day lilies that were sent from one of my housemates to the other (they're a couple :) and they are still looking pretty good. The smell has been permeating the living and dining room ever since they arrived and personally I love it.

I snapped them yesterday in the afternoon sun and have tweaked the shot a little with a slight cross-process influenced colour scheme.

I have to thank @deniseescovino for some advice on which colour tweak looked best - we agreed on this one :)

Best viewed large, against black if you have time :)
