  Excellent capture Dan - love the contrast between the vibrant yellow and the dark BG.
BTW - it makes a nice compliment to Jordi's bloom that is next door to yours tonight.

  Taking center frame, all petals wide open displaying bright, gorgeous colors against the black bg, I'd say that this beautiful lily will get all the attention that it (and you) deserve! A stunning flower image Dan!

  Your flower work is incredible, but this one really jumped off the page...as you said refusing to be ignored. Well, done, and let's hope the judges can't refuse either!

  If ever a floral image earned exclamation points, this is IT, Dan!!! Radiant colors leaping offscreen, perfect composition set on dramatic black...I agree with Eric totally, especially re: the judges!
