I love callas, and never can find any in our local florist shops here in OK. This photo is gorgeous and I'd never thought about using a nylon over the lens. Creative! The only part of this photo bothering me is that dark spot in the lower left corner, what is it? #1240192

Dear Toni, Thank you so much for your nice comment. The 'dark spot' is the calla leaf. #1241491
