Great composition, Tony. The curves and shapes of the flowers come to the fore. This one would probably look good in B&W as well.

It's a calla lily, not a day lily. Gorgeous flower, at any rate!

Thank you very much for the info. Are they also referred to as: Easter Lilies since they appear right about that time of year?

Cheers,

No, Easter lilies are entirely different. Callas aren't lilies at all, they just have that common name. They are actually aroids, related to philodendrons, and anthuriums. I am fond of callas, I have one in the garden but it hasn't flowered for me yet. Alas. If it does I will be sure to post an image!
