Nature Water Lilly

Water Lilly · **1 Like**

I took a few photos of a water lily in Golden Gate Park recently. I think they turned out fairly well but CC is always welcome!.

Very very nice Timothy.
#3 and 4 are exquisite in their rendition.
Sharp, and great use of DoF and reflection.

These are very good as AHS says good use of DOF and they are tack sharp.

Excellent work! I agree the DOF is perfect!

I'll add my voice to the throngs praising these! #3 is a wall-hanger for sure.

Thanks all! How is the green looking on your monitors. I've had some comments that it was too bright or vibrant.

On my calibrated IPS panel, the greens are vibrant but they don't overwhelm the flower - the entire photo(s) seem properly balanced color-wise. Not completely realistic color, but lovely, artistically appropriate color, imho.

I love the gentle color of these pictures. You did such a good job in retaining that quality. Congratulations!!
