Orange Dusted Petals
This lily was growing in my yard. Because of this lily's white color, it had to be picked withing a few days of blooming or the white would look soiled. The contrast of the white and orange stamens intrigued me. The challenge was keeping the white crisp and still "heating up," the ends of the stamens. I used a couple different temperatures of light from a couple different angles. I love the sienna color of the stamens and the pollen with the crisp white as a contrasting background.
No Photoshop in this picture. I did use the RAW editor to tweak the exposure slightly but there is no re-coloring, stamping, or other modifications.
