This my second attempt at the Lily Pads in the pond. I can never really get close enough or at the right angle for my own tastes.

Wow, this pond must be full of frogs. Jackie, IMO horizontal format without cutting both lily pads would be more appropriate.

Interesting subject and image jackie. I agree with Miro about cutting the pads with the frame. You could still shoot this aspect ratio but it would be nice to see a complete pad in the image. I like the light and the soft reflections in this. I hope you'll post another.

I love the lighting and the textures, Jackie, and appreciate the difficulty of getting the angles right. Maybe with the main pad complete this would be even better.

Jackie: I agree with the others about the clipped pads but this is mostly about the textures and the reflections and for that it works well. You might also try this with a polarizer to cut down the reflections and create a different mood. >=))>
