It is fabulous. I have never seen any blooming lotus. I always see lotus after or before blooming, because I visit Japan in spring or autumn. July is not for business trips. Thanks for this precious shot.

I love the light shining through this one Tigz. Looks like you are serving light at a tea party. Colors are gorgeous. You sure are good with that lens and camera. Have a good weekend.

The light through the petals is lovely in this Sandi. There are maybe a couple of burnt-out highlights, but that's a price worth paying for the delicate colour created elsewhere.
