Found Lily

Here's a photo of my own that I'm particularly pleased with:















The story on this - Last week while out for a walk a splash of color on the ground caught my eye as I passed. I stopped and looked at it; there was this (at the time) mostly still fresh lily laying among lots of dead leaves. The contrast between the colors of the flower, the dead leaves, and the concrete really struck me.

I had my camera with me, so I took several pictures, and this is the one I thought came out best.

I am planning to get it commercially printed and mounted on a display board in order to enter it in next year's photo contest at the San Diego County Fair, aka Del Mar Fair. (The original exposure out of the camera is twice the size of what you see in the linked page. I set the camera to give me it's maximum exposure for the lily pictures, as it did occur to me at the time I might want to get a real good print made.)
