But this is lovely. I like the diagonal comp and the brilliance of the yellow against the black.
The highlights might be a bit burnt out and in fact that doesn't bother me but I was just wondering if you ever do what I do with burnt out highlights. I pick the colour and brush it in on about 25%or less. They always go on about burnt out highlights and their opposite with shadows in comps at CPS>
It is nice to seem some context of where the lily is situated but I agree the shadows make it somewhat confusing. I hardly had anything in my scilly lilies and found it better to just keep it simple.

I actually did add some yellow to this, but I kind of liked the touch a light there. Maybe I should have filled it a little more.
The leaves are a bit chaotic looking from cross shadows.
But THANKS--yours is just SO NICE!
I like blacks in pictures, but I guess some color in them is supposedly better. But if the detail is confusing or messy, better not to have it.

Yours is clearly better.
I could probably improve mine with some photoshop work, if I ever have time. (I didn't work on it in photoshop).
