An interesting set of comparisons of the Rose Lilies. I had to view them all up close to see how I felt. While the B&W and extended pp versions have their place, I feel the original wins hands down. The tall vase and the pastel blue background fit very well with the primary. I noticed the shadows are quite diffuse and unobtrusive - now I know why some photogs have those strange white umbrellas... The horizontal banding in the background does well to break up the length of the vase but is perhaps just a touch too strong. Beautiful image.
