Lotus

Went to the HK Wetland Park on the weekend for dragonfly shooting. Not much action in the park for critters but this lone newly opened lotus was in the middle of the pond and hence the long lens.

D90 300mmF4+1.7TC tripod F7.1 1/500 sec iso 200.

Nice to see you back again, Gary -and what an image to return with ! Superb light and texture, all within a fine, beautifully balanced composition.

Gary - Nice to see you shooting again :cool: . Absolutely beautiful frame for this rather fresh Lotus. The leaves also add a lot of interest with their undulations :toast:

Gary: I think the long lens rendered this superbly. I especially like the light and the color palette. Ditto Ram on the leaves. Most excellent. >=))>
