Another from my files when summer was upon us - this little waterlily bud is waiting for his moment to shine like the "big guy" next to him. All comments appreciated.

Nice shot. :o)

Good composition.

To my eyes, it would appear you applied a treatment/filter to attain a painterly look of sorts? Which is more apparent at the larger resolutions.

Works well, and you achieved a nice balance of application and realism.

Kind of curious, if I have the above correct ... if the original could stand on it's own photographic merits. And yes, 'Curious Les, I am'. :oP

Just kidding a bit in the above.

Nice shot, nice work. :o)

I do see what Les is talking about, for me this works best in the smaller sizes, and is beautiful when viewed that way.

Kathy - Whatever post-photo treatment was applied, or not, you have a real nice water lily photo. Good work! Thad

Lovely closeup of these two lilies, Kathy! I especially like the vivid colours and the soft glow about the larger lily! Nicely composed and very well done!

I've never seen a waterlily bud before. It looks almost like a rose bud! Wonderful shot Kathy and very good!

Isn't it great to revisit the beauty and color of summer? I love water lilies and it's so wonderful you caught the little bud coming out of the water.
