Lily Pads at Dusk-REPOST

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted September 21, 201053 views5 comments

The Biltmore Estate here in Asheville, North Carolina, has beautiful water lily ponds. I spent the morning at the Biltmore about a week ago and captured this and many more images of their water lilies. I manipulated the hue and saturation to see what different effects it would give me. The lower bottom is a bit out of focus, but I really like the colors; it's very different from the original image.

Camera is a Nikon D70. Comments and critiques are always appreciated.

Thanks everyone for your great comments. I'll see how I can rework this image for a repost.

Again, thanks everyone for your comments. I reworked this image to take out the green and fill the area with black. Thanks Cindy for that comment. Sometimes my eyes just don't see something that is that obvious. I like how this new image looks now and really pops. Comments?

Cindy, thanks very much for your suggestions. I definitely learn something new each time I post an image. That's the reason I'm here; to learn from others. Thanks again.
