Usual stuff with slightly contrasty processing. The biggest challenge is usually to see one in good condition specially since we are getting some good rains in the mid west.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Red Hibiscus and let me know what you think of this one.

Ram: Gorgeous subject superbly composed and captured. I like the supporting cast of the pads as well although I wonder what took a bite out of the one in the BG

. 2 thumbs up! >=))>

[Ram] --> LoL. That bite might be resting on the pad on the side. No idea..perhaps some insect

I think I like the wrinkle in the petals Ram, very natural.

The detail and luminosity in the flower is eye-popping! Maybe it's just me, but the bite out of the pad in the upper left really bugs me.... All in all, your usual top quality image, Ram. Really nice.

Hi Ram

Fabulous waterlily for sure. For some reason, the bite on the pad is getting undue attention

[Ram] --> For some reason it did not bother me much but with almost everyone feeling differently, there obviously is something about that semi circle

The waviness is a refreshing contrast to the stiff sameness of white water lilies. Somehow, it reminds me of Blanche DuBois in a Streetcar Named Desire:

"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."
