Taken at the Chicago Botanic Garden - they have extensive aquatic gardens. I like that this one had a bud about to open and I was able to pick some petal reflections as well. My Fx2 for this week.

Nice color tones and lighting on the water lily and a good clarity overall.

Is this for real? never seen a multi-colored lily before. The little bubbles under the one petal lends reality to the image. And yes, the reflections of the bloom in the water are super.

This water lily almost looks as though it's glowing - the pastel colors are so soft and lovely - very nicely presented Kathy - and if I were a frog, I'd love to hang out in that pond lol - Great Capture!!!!!!!!!

You could have jumped in and gotten your feet wet to get this close up. A great capture of this beautiful bloom, Kathy.
