Taken near the old 601 bridge in 40 Acre Rock territory. I think it turned out ok.
But....
Being my picky self, there is not enough detail in the yellow Anther parts of the flower. I would have liked to have seen at least a little shadow there.
Also the white three pronged Stigma (best guess for what that is called) could have probably used some side lighting from flash. The white Stigma is almost hidden because of the white background flower petal.
I do like how the greens in the base of the petals slowly blend into the white section of the petal.
Taken this year in late April using a 24 - 70mm.
Atamasco Lily

Just for fun, here's the old 601 bridge. I don't think many folks know about it, and I just assume it stay that way. I love this place in the spring. Great for listening for songbirds. The lilies were below the bridge next to the creek. Yep, trees and vegetation actually grow on the road and bridge. The other side is missing some of the concrete railing.
