Gorgeous pastels Gary, excellent subject/ground separation and very fine detail. Perfect placement of the subject in the frame for my tastes. I also find the mood very appealing. Beautiful image - no suggestions.

Gary: This reminds me of Patricia Brundage's work with lotus flowers; take that as a high compliment. Wonderful color and DOF choice. Superb image. >=))>

Beautiful lotus, expertly presented.

The first bud of mine is beginning to grow, but it will be weeks and I'll probably be on vacation when it blooms. Oh well. There is always next year.

Just Fantastic, Gary. Hongkong seems to be a great place for Lotuses and I see many of the good photos I see are made by Photographers from HK.
