Douglas I enjoyed the selection too. Fair to say that there was a benchmark
set for Calla lilies a little while back. Really like trying to come up with
a better photograph of THAT Pepper or something ;-)

Cheers

Hi, David,
I think you're right, there may be a little too much blur on the 
ethereal shot.
My personal favourites are the Yellow Lily with the Victoria Regina and 
the natural Calla.

Best from Hannover - the weather forecast says 33 degrees (Centigrade) 
for this afternoon, I think I'll take my laptop and work on the patio.
