Ready to Pop

The sun was trying so hard to come out this morning but wasn't succeeding. Still, it was great to see such brightness. This was taken with natural light in front of a window. I wanted to capture the lily just as it was about to bloom, with the hint of a mature flower in the background. Taken with my 105mm macro.
Sunsets from tonight:

This is really lovely. Hello there! I love the challenge you set me, thank you! I have been amazed by the wonderful shots I have seen in your folders and the ideas for challenges which I mulled overnight have been blown out of the water as I can see you've already mastered them! One challenge I had which I enjoyed was to do a forced perspective shot... does that appeal to you? If not let me know and I'll put the thinking cap on again. :)
January 13th, 2014  
Superb and subtle! Lovely.
January 13th, 2014  
@filsie65 Great idea! I actually ran a technique challenge with forced perspective but couldn't enter it, of course. So that will be a lot of fun and with our unpredictable weather, will work indoors or out. Thanks!
January 13th, 2014  
Superb! Love the softness!
