Lily.

Who remembers 'Pictures of Lily' by the Who? That's going back a bit.  Well here's another one-one which I have played with.  The lily is one of two from a bouquet and is a stacked photo.  That is focussing on a part at a time and moving the camera up a small bit at a time until you have photographed the whole flower.  Put all the photos into Photoshop and let the computer blend and align them.  I highlighted the flower' cut' it out and pasted on to the background.  I had spent the morning photographing smoke from a sandalwood stick and did get smokey shapes.  The idea to have the flower against or slightly hidden by the smoke.  Well that wasn't successful, so you 'got this one instead!'  I also highlighted the flower by not only using a head torch, but adding 'soft light' to the image from PS. Finally darkening the back ground.
By the by it has rained all day.  Tomorrow I may go out, but that is weather dependent.
