This is another possible for the POV contest. It's a shot of the lotus from behind with the morning light shining through. They are in the aquatic gardens which are quite extensive at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Additionally a little bee flew into the shot on the right to get some nectar from the lotus.

I love water lilies, especially those that are other than white. Beautiful and graceful.

The light shinning through the leaves and petals makes this particularly attractive.

The little bee has brought this splendid image into the proper perspective, Kathy.
Great imagery and a perfect candidate for the current contest.
If you'll decide so: Good Luck with it, my friend.

Beautiful shot! The lighting is wonderful...and I like the two buds that look like they are standing as sentinels. The bee is icing on the cake.

Nice use of the rule of thirds here. The water really accents the Lilly quite nicely.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
