White Lily Close Up

White Lily Close Up
I'm doing my best to follow the rules and stay close to home, but I'm also running out of inspiration. In desperation I went for a walk around the local cemetery and found some white lilies that someone had left at a grave. They'd been battered by the rain but I managed to get this close up image. I used my 40-150mm zoom lens and this is a large crop, but I'm pleased with the result.

Best viewed large. Thank you.

Wow that really is getting a close up Keith, remarkable detail in full screen especially for a large crop but that shows the quality of the lens.

A beautifully sharp and detailed image. I like seeing all the different stages of the stamens. Lovely colours too.

Oh Keith! This is TERRRRRRRIFIC! Love the details and the perfect composition. And hooray for finding a lovely subject in, of all places, a cemetary!

We are two birds of a feather. My picture today is also a macro of a yellow flower, zeroed-in on the pistils! HAH! You do realize that we do this a lot! Hilarious, isn't it?! :D *high five* My awesome online brother! :D

It is a good result Keith. The detail and colour is beautiful. The stamens stain very badly, as I found out to my cost, when I had some in the house. I never mind a walk around a local cemetery as often find something good to photograph.

Have a good new week ahead, and take care.

Wow That's a cracker of a close up Keith, really sharp and recognisable. Looks like In have to dig out my 40-150 and dust it off. If your running out of ideas take a looks at my last upload, that will make you cringe or fall about laughing.

A very well composed flower detail! I know how you must feel about photos, I'm totally lacking inspiration with that restricted radius...

Keith Burton club has replied to Gudrun club
Thank you kind lady..................yes, it's all pretty odd at the moment.............but I'm thankful that a lack of inspiration for my photos is the least of my worries. I'd rather be uninspired than catch the virus :-) Stay safe!
