This is the last of the water lilies in one of the small ponds at the Chicago Botanic Garden. A little beaten up by the wind and weather but still hanging on with her beauty. All comments and critiques appreciated.

May be lonely but sure is pretty. Love the color and the bloom shape is nice.

Why should such a pretty girl be so lonely? A really beautiful composition Kathy.

Well she certainly is no wallflower in my humble opinion, Kathy. Nice focus and sharpness in the details. Beautiful colours and nicely composed shot.

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick. Henri Cartier-Bresson

I sure like the color play, and contrasts in this one.
