I have shot lily images each year, but they all look two-dimensional and flat. I was trying to show the depth of the components that make up the flower. The lower half was superfluous, so I cropped it out. Glad you liked it. The short macro lens made it easier to get the flower features in focus, and still diffuse the background. For some images it does better than my Leica Elmarit-R 60mm Macro, but I still prefer the Leica lens when I have a choice.
