Re: Calla Lily

I like the flower but it is over exposed.  Large areas of white need up to two stops less exposure.  The darker areas can then be brightened.  A lot of people love the black background.  I have found that making the background just a little brighter can make the subject stand out more than a fully black background.

I would have had to get a macro shot of the insect.
