Three calla lilies we have growing in a planter in our front yard. It was a nice morning the sun was just coming up and there was a nice soft light I was playing with my new 40mm Nikkor Fixed Prime lens with a polarizing filter on. I had to move the planter a little so that I had most of the lawn as a background and still had the lilies arranged this way and I use an open aperture of 3.0 to get a shallow depth of field.I used the polarizing filter to get the vibrant pink and green colors. It was a nice sunny morning but the whole yard was cast in the shadow of the huge oaks growing in the neighborhood so I had to increase the ISO to 1250 to get the right level of light I wanted, I usually keep the ISO at 100 and compensate with a slower shutter speed but I was shooting freehand and didn’t want any motion blur
At least my fingernail wasn't totally in the way. :-)

The second colorful work of calla for the gallery, often we prefer an expression in black and white, because we feel oversaturated with too many different colors in one motive. This one feels neat and still calm.
Calla (Bog Arum, Marsh Calla) is a genus of flowering plant in the family Araceae, containing the single species Calla palustris.
I had never seen these dark-purple-in-the-center calla lilies before. They had a few of them at the local superstore when we stopped on mother's day. So pretty!
