A photo of a (dying) lilly.

Shows what happens to a beautiful piece of nature when it reached it's "sell by" date. Not the average flower photo!

Taken as the sun was setting "very little natural light", using a strong ourdoor light from the left side.

Taken in RAW format.

Adjusted the brightness, sharpness, contrast and colour temprature.

Cropped and resized with PHotoshop 3 elements.

a little too dark for my taste.

Dark and mystical, I like it.

I like the idea here but I feel it falls a little short on execution. the lighting feels very flat, so does the whole image. it also feels very dark. mabey a curves adjustment would help. the colors seem very dull and the focus is very soft.

very gloomy, yet smooth. I like it.

I like your depth of field but the lighting is very low and for me makes this image too dull (my humble opinion)
