A feeling of warmth emanates from your photo of this lily. The warm sunshine hues nourish this flower after the rain. It is a nicely composed photograph showing sharpness on stamens and delicatness of this flower.

I like the fragility seen here on this dragonfly. Nicely placed off center we also see his environment in soft bokeh. Natural, in good focus on the eyes (where it really matters) . Exposure is well rendered , contrast is fine and the whole image has good initial visual impact.

Nice shot!

This very clever upload reminds me that maybe we could have a contest called IDIOMS for here the first thing that popped into my mind was "button up your lips". I love your thought processes that went into constructing this shot. A well taken photo however I am somewhat bothered by the red smudges particularly on the R side (viewer's side) and her upper lip...but sometimes lipstick DOES smudge. Thank you for inspiring us with this post. I'm going to write to the mods and ask for an IDIOMS contest....
