This water lily had a wonderful pearly irridescence to it's petals I wanted to try to capture that - I think I caught at least some of it. All comments and critiques appreciated.

Both the lily and leaves look pearly to me. Lovely shot, Kathy.

Hi, Kathy...

They don't have lily pads around here...not enough water unless somebody builds a pong in their yard. They sure are beautiful though. There are a few things about the Midwest that California needs. Lily pads are only one.

The pads make an excellent background to the flower. I really like the softness in your flower photos. Looks like silk.

Kathy - A lovely close up that doe capture the iridescent color. The flower is not quite as crisp as the pads, but it is beautiful. Thad

You did it, Kathy! Love the pearly iridescence of the lily's petals and fan-like impression in the broad leaf! Beautifully composed and captured, my friend!

The title is perfect, Kathy. Both the flower and leaves look like they've emerged from an Oyster shell. Really lovely.
