Water Lily Foofy

Took this one this morning at the local flower gardens in town.

I used the canon 450D with the canon 70-200 f/4L USM lens. I took the camera off the tripod and leaned over a rail for this shot.

For those wondering am I happy with the new lens, the answer would be yes because of the sharpness and clarity this lens brings to an image.

I'm curious what your thoughts are, and thank you in advance for taking the time to view my work.

The new lens appears to get exceptional clarity Sandi and this shot is an excellent example of that.

It looks really clear to me Tigz. This is really a good scene and the color of the Water Lily is tremendous.
Excellent post.

Looks like a beautiful painting, Sandi. Nice strong colours and a good §D effect on the flowers.

You beg the question - is it the lens or the eye that makes a great picture? The lens helps improve upon what we behold - and I think these were lilies worth beholding.

I faved this one for the artistic look that water has surrounding those vivid blossoms! There is a reflection that just shines around each leaf! Outstanding capture! :)Ami

What deep colors! I love the way you can see the water around each plant. I'd have to agree this is a nice lens.
