 The same three lily blooms from 'Tangerine' in the Led Zeppelin Challenge only they are all in full bloom in this. Just saw them the next day and had to shoot them.

I entered this earlier in the week. On 03/29/2008 I went to the florist that sold me the lilies. One of his associates, Chris, an artist, was showing me some of his paintings on line. Great stuff! Another customer came in and he went to see her. I pulled up my Better Photo Gallery to show Chris 'Medusa' from the Blurry Mess Challenge. I also looked at some other of the floral images in the gallery and showed them to the customer who is also an artist and paints flowers. I pulled up this and and went EEEEK! A big blue gray mass in the upper left corner! So I came home. Adjusted my gamma again and turned off the apartment lights in the background and OY! What a load of KAKA all over the background of the lilies. I selected the background and picked a bight point and it all went away, I hope. At least it did as far as I could see. So a Huge thank you to Michael and Chris at Pure Design not only for the flowers but helping me to see what I did not before.
