Description

Thought about titling this and those to follow Wet Dreams but thought better of it. :wink:Another from the Lowes Water Gardens. We have a small pond in our back yard but Chrissy hasnā€™t ventured into planting our own water lilies yet so I just dream about having them right at hand. Oh well, it gives me a good excuse to go back to Lowes and its not far away. >=))>

Specific Feedback

I flipped this horizontally so the lily would ā€œlookā€ to the right. Satisfies my natural preference for left to right comps. Your thoughts?

Technical Details

Sony A7rIII
Sony FE 70-200 f2.8 GM-II, 2xTC @ 250mm
ISO 400, 1/50 @ f22

Nicely composed, and the flower is gorgeous. I like the dark background water that gives the plants prominence. You might consider darkening the green leaf at the top to sort of match the other leaves.

Itā€™s a fine image, sir!

I love this, Bill. The composition is excellent and I like that you didnā€™t clean up the blossom. The partially submerged petals are intriguing as well. Very well done.
