Lily, by Roberto Pagani

I took this photograph along a path starting from Premana, over Lecco Lake, northern of Italy, going toward Varrone Valley. I stopped somewhere looking around for the car keys fell out from my pocket. So I seen this wild lily with so gorgeous colors- I spent about ten minuts, forgetting the keys, around the flower shooting with and without flash from different positions. I have been very lucky even because, at the end of the day, I got home with my own car avoiding to ask hitchhiking.
