I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Ahh, returning to the scene of an earlier crime! And I can see why. This, too, is great. I enjoyed going back and forth repeatedly between this and the other trying to decide which is "better" (a silly exercise, but . . ) And I can't decide. It depends on what you want to say. I like the angle you've taken here and I like the background wash on the previous one. Which is to say, they're both great.

Two of a kind. I prefer the first lily and the second background. But only the whole image matters and are both very, very good. They create different moods on the viewer, more optimistic the former, more subdued the later.

I love the detail in the "veins" of the flower... Great shot!

I agree with Antonio Pires's comments about the two Lilies. I'm more aware of the first as an image; the second as capturing the essence of the flower.

The Calla Lily is my favorite type, so eloquent. And so is this shot, great seeing all the flowers everyone has now. Thanks!
