Another water lily from my Koi pond. My first summer of having such plants. I really enjoy them, but they cost a pretty penny!
C&C welcome

Canon 7D, 100-400L @ 220mm, 1/2000sec, f/6.3, iso100, AP, partial metering, tripod used. Cropped about 50% of image away for this comp. Darkened some with levels in CS6 to bring out the yellow and purple just a bit.

Gorgeous, David. The colors really popped because of the strong light and processing. Well done.

I think these are definitely worth your pennies! I like the level of contrast between the purple & yellow...nice!

These flowers are among the most beautiful and striking in the world imo. And, your portrait here shows why. Fine work.

Dave: One of my favorite varieties and very nicely captured. Wonder what you could get for an ugly penny?

Well done. >=))>
