The lilies are finally starting to bloom in the front yard. This has a performer-on-stage look.

I took this near sunset so the light is from a flash on an off-shoe flash cord, diffused with
a PhotoFlex inflatable, velcro-attached diffuser, and white foamcore to the lower right.

For processing I used PS CS2 / Filter / Distort / Lens Distortion twice in a row to cause a
dark vignette around the edge to minimize the distraction of the bright bud in the upper right.
