I love lilies! Macro shots are so cool – the smallest of worlds for us to see – and in B&W even better. Nice job.
My lilies are just emerging from their winter sleep, and I always look forward to them. I’m having a bed put in front – well, redone by the gardener (he does the digging) – and bulbs and lilies will be going in to meet up with the resident freesias.
These are truly beautiful photographs. I have a bunch of lillies on my kitchen table, given to me by a friend. I’m inspired to go and take a closer look – so much sensual beauty you have captured.
Lovely macro work, FR. I was always struck by Robert Mapplethorpe’s photos of lilies. No doubt you know of them? https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/4364
Best wishes, Pete.
Maybe it’s just me but I found this kind of hot! π₯π

He did a lot of (mostly Gay) nude work, but he was a wonderful B&W photographer.
