Wow, heart throb is right. What a beauty. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen water lilies this color. Maybe at an arboretum or something, but I can’t recall. What a perfect specimen you found. I like the single leaf and the dark water to frame it. I wonder if you could isolate some of the highlights in the petals and bring them up. Point color might do it for the lightest purple. I love how many petals it has, too. What a huge bud it must be. Great depth and sharpness, too. Single frame? Must be at that f stop.

Careful, Bill, or we’ll rat you out to your wife for spending all your time consorting with these young lovelies.

A beautiful image. The colors of the blossom are wonderful and i like the inclusion of the mottled pad to set the bloom off so nicely.

Very well done.
