I can't visit the Arboretum without shooting the waterlilies which continue to bloom very nicely. All comments welcome. >=))>

Beautiful color Bill and a strong composition. Plane of focus and dof are perfectly matched for my tastes. I think the new camera is treating you well. (smile)

Lovely waterlily variety, composition, color saturation and dof. These stopped blooming here a long time ago... something to look forward to next July. No nits from me.

Sweet detail, light and composition Bill. A winner in my book.

Good DOF. Can you give some sense of scale on this, or an estimate of the DOF? Is that the f/2.8 or the f/4? Looks like the A77 is doing well by you! Lovely color!

Phil: The 200 is an f4 lens. This was shot at f8.

Bill:
All the waterlilies around in HK are gone by now with the cooler weather. Lovely variety and the details and DOF are just perfect.

Nothing like a new camera to create motivation and inspiration. You are on a roll Bill, very nice!

way COOL. This almost leaps off the screen. DOF and glowing purple... Almost neon. Well done.
