That is a beautiful shot of a lovely bloom! I've never seen a Lotus in real life, the fragrance is very unique? Very nicely done job on the processing too....love the little wasp!
Regards!

Thanks Rupert!
I can't say I really noticed the fragrance, then again I couldn't get overly close either!

That is a superb rendition of a beautiful flower. It stands out well from the dark b/g. Well done.

Really nice flower shot! I like that there is little action more than just the flower.

Nice shot, subtle colour with good lighting, seems a little soft on the focus but that could be me. Well done.
