I took this in Giverny, France in April 2007. These lily pads are the same as those in my earlier photo of the entire pond, which was the subject of several claude monet paintings. enjoy..
The lily is realy an appealing motive. Unfortunately the image quality is rather bad. Something has been gone wrong. Is this shot a small detail from a originally bigger image?
The composition could be improved, too. The lily is exactly in the middle of the image, this turns out static. Following the rule of third you would place it in another part of the image.
