I took this up close photo about 3 years ago and added the title. I have had it posted on my own website at www.gallery.petrochellie.com and thought I would post it here too.

Very refreshing and excellent composition, Chellie! Nice colors and clarity, and I too love the water drops atop the lily pads. Wonderful work! :)

If you have a garden please feed the birds this freezing winter, & supply drinking water not ice, it's so important. . . . Help dwindling bird numbers survive.

This makes for an intersting desktop - I was watching it to see if a fish or a frog popped into view.

*Response to your pm :)*

I like it a lot! Regarding what we've been discussing, I think people may have approached this in the booth and thought it was a "snapshot" instead of an image of appreciation for nature's beauty. I opened it up in photoshop and played around a bit with the curves and it made the colors more vibrant and apparent. I think it's a very nice shot that has much potential! Let me know if you'd like me to email you the edits I made.

UPDATE:
I went back into photoshop to see one more thing... I incorporated some ortonization on the image (just to see whether or not it added or detracted from the image) and I think it works fairly well. It seems to give it a softer, more approachable feel. Anyways, nice shot, again! :-P
