Congratulations Bruce Murden
Lilly Leaf

Found this backlit beauty in Greenville, SC's Falls Park, a lovely city park right downtown, through which the Reedy River runs and where you will find the Reedy River Falls. While waiting for better lighting for the falls, I wandered the park admiring and photographing the flora around. To retain the backlighting, I declined using my on-camera flash (all I had at the time) to allow for a faster shutter speed, so I didn't want to small an aperture (lost more sharpness when I stopped down further, and ISO 400 is my comfortable limit for noise on my camera).

Don't know what type of lily this is -- no blooms, but it resembles large decorative lilies. Full leaf is ~ 16 in / 40 cm long.

Nikon D80, Nikkor 105mm, ISO 400, f/11, 1/13s, tripod
