I agree, a very pretty banner. But I'm intrigued. Would you have the full photo of this lovely?

I love that your banner shows us both the white 'face' and the pink undersides of the petals. The shape of the blooms comes through, too. Not bad work considering the limitations of the format.

For more photos check database entry for 'Black Dragon'.

This photo is taken in my friend's garden. Me and him have this beautiful lily. I am not 100% happy with banner because It would be better if I cropped whole flower not just part of it but it's hard because bloom is huge. Next time I'll try to do it better.

Luka, It is hard to get large flowers in a small slice like a banner requires, but you did a good job with this one. The back side of the lily petals can be as interesting as the inside.
