You can't help but be nice M'dear..This is a great comeback from Sock it to em Sandi..;)

Wonderful closeup shot. Love the lighting and beautiful colors. Excellent!

Very nicely done - I know from experience the lighting in waterlily shots can be tricky.

Beautiful shot! I like the reflections and the clarity.

I hope your internet will be stable now, Sandi. Fantastic shot of the pond lilies. The lighting is really good on them, and I love the colors and the reflections. Very nice post.

I always think they look like the old Pac Man game Tigz. Your clarity is as good as it gets. You are tops in my book.

Sandi, this a beautiful post.
Love the color and DOF.
Thanks for sharing.

It's getting to the point, Sandi, where I'm gonna have to start using a thesaurus to come up with more words for excellent. This posting has no noticeable flaws. I sure wish we had some of these pond lilies around here. But with no ponds the likelihood of finding a pond lily seems remote. Even our lake is drying up. Lovely shot. The water is smooth as silk. Love those concentric ripples emanating from the lilies.

The age of cyberspace...non of us can do without it now eh!....Just think..one time we only used pidgeons and smoke signals! .. lol

A fine post Sandi...perfick composition too

---I edited my narrative, as I did not think anyone did anything, but after a phone call, I was told they did---

Sandi,
your 'edited' narrative made me smile. it sounds to a certain extent as, if someone else has sent a letter in which is written:
"I wanted to enclose some money, but had already sealed the envelope.", lol. I was just kidding. Time to be serious now:
This is an outstanding post! I know by own experience that it's pretty hard to make a good capture of water lilies because they are floating in the water and you mostly can't position your camera in the optimal angle. So, very well done!
Regards, Cornelius.

Lovely.

Spectacular capture and absolutely love the lilies and the water droplets on the blossoms. Right into my favs

beautiful light on this one Sandi, water lilies are so pretty. hope you are well girl.

Amazing post Sandi. I love the water. It looks surreal and molten like!!!! And of course that flower is beautiful as well!! A fabulous image:)

Very nicely captured lilies and floating leaves. Great lighting and DOF.

Quite lovely, Tigs. Quite clear as well.

Dang. That's a perfect a capture as I have ever seen. The white petals look like paper meche. KEEP-PAH

Love the detail. Beautiful capture, Sandi.

Amazingly Beautiful! The clarity is superb Sandi:)
