New lily

I'm surprised at how many new flowers are still opening, particularly on the hydrangeas. The same applies to the water lilies too - this one is looking quite fresh. The only problem was a couple of clusters of pine needles on the surrounding leaves which rather spoilt the effect - they were too far away to reach and and I couldn't see how I could clone them out without it being noticed. 

I had a quick attempt and was rather pleased with the result.We have to be careful when entering cloned pictures into competitions, as judges sometimes blow the pictures up and reveal the fiddling about beneath!
