This is my favorite color water lily and the season for these lovely flowers is growing short. This one was shot at the Chicago Botanic Garden in the fall. All comments and critiques appreciated.

Hi, Kathy....

You sure can shoot flowers. My hat is off to you. Beautiful colors, excellent clarity and focus. The pads don't look very happy, but the flower is in great shape.

I used to have an ornamental pond where I lived years ago, and I had some lilies this color...also white ones. Excellent color and clarity on this beauty, Kathy.

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick. Henri Cartier-Bresson

Fabulous colours on this Kathy. I like the wet look of the pads too.

That is some sumptuous pink Kathy. The matching frame is very nice too, as is the variety of colours of the pads.
