Worth the Wait?

By RubberBullets
Well after yesterdays foray into a larger world I am back on more familiar ground today. The buds on this lily have been growing so slowly for the last couple of weeks and finally one has jumped into life. It was nicely backlit this evening, and I am pretty happy with this photo.

many thanks to all those who ensured that yesterdays offering didn't bomb after all!

A lovely image - I never find these easy to make look attractive but the lighting on this has worked very well. Personally, I'd be temped to crop a bit more off the right hand side.

Now there's a rare thing a macro whihc really is best viewed large - mainly because the detail is just so spot on. You are so right the backlighting is perfect.
