Guernsey Lily

Guernsey Lily
It was wet and windy here yesterday morning and I found that one of the stems of my Guernsey Lily flowers had snapped. I rescued it and brought it indoors to photograph.

This was taken in natural light from the window. The background is a sheet of paper taken from a craft book which depicts spring flowers, so I had to set up the shot so the background was blurred but still recognisable. I hope you like it.

In the PiP you will see the same flower, but photographed against a green card background. Personally I prefer my main image, but thought I'd share it anyway.

Wonderful images, although I much prefer the floral background with the beautiful bokeh,
I think it looks a little stark against the green but what the heck both are superb images Keith,
Love the colours! It's Wet and Windy over this side again, but I wish you a good day

Ich mag beide Darstellungen,die dir sehr schön gelungen ist lieber Keith,mein Favorit ist auch das Hauptbild,weil diese Farben der Blüten auch in diesen bunten Hintergrund sind,aber deine Experimente zahlen sich immer aus :))

Ich bekomme heute so ein Fotobox 40x40,hab ich um 50 Euro bestellt,mit 2 LED Streifen und es sind 4 verschieden Hintergrundfarben dabei,es peckt mich auch etwas Daheim zu experimentieren,deine Ergebnisse haben mich schon motiviert lieber Keith :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you for your very kind comments Güni..........I'm glad you like both of these photos and that your favourite was the same as mine.

Your photo box sounds really interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing what you can come up with in your experiments. It's a good way to spend wet and cold afternoons!

I love the main picture Keith. If you hadn't said, I would have thought the backdrop was your garden! It looks magical and I love the colours. I also like your Pip with the green card as the background but your main picture has that very special something about it!

Such a beauty! Your main background was indeed well chosen! It looks as if you'd taken the photo outdoors and I' never have noticed that it isn't so:-)

Keith Burton club has replied to Gudrun club
Thanks Gudrun........I'm really pleased you like it. The trouble with these particular lilies is that they flower so late in the year all the other flowers have been and gone..!!
