Flower Photo Competition 3 2016 : Entry Number 74

We love this photo for this purple lily. Its great composition, color on the left side - and black-and-white to the right, and especially for the beautiful shadow. Very well seen and executed. Congratulations to the winner!

Thank you very much to the I shot it team for choosing my photograph as the winner of this competition. My name is Alexandre Machado, I am a free-time photographer based in Copenhagen. Learning photography and the art of seeing, brings me great joy. It is very rewarding and a great inspiration for me to receive this award and your comments. I have used a Nikon D200 with Nikkor AF 55 2,8 micro lens for this shot.
