[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today I spotted another water lily in a big lake. but fortunately it grows by the bank. so i have the opportunity to shoot it from the top.
The bank was a bit soft and muddy. Even my tripod sank into the mud.This is not to mentioned my feet and my legs.
But the nymphaea attraction is simply irresistible, I will do it anyhow.
The light is quite strong and it helps me a lot. Though in the light, I learnt that in order to produce a good detail I should use the flshlight still.

Nymphaea is a genus of aquatic perennials with showy flowers (white, blue, pink or yellow, often fragrant), including the white water lily and the Egyptian Lotus. Linnaeus (1753) originally described the genus Nymphaea L. to include three units: the yellow water-lilies (currently Nuphar), white water-lilies (currently Nymphaea) and water lotus (Nelumbo Adans currently.). They are growing from an underwater noise stem cells, which are buried in the mud and sends down rootlets for anchorage.

Thanks for viewing.

Hi Foozi, my neighbor today!

Another superb shot with perfect focusing on this colorful waterlily, my friend!
The sharpness and POV are perfect with great contrast between the beautiful bright colors and comparatively dark BG. The colors are perfectly natural indeed.
Very well done!

Have a nice weekend.

Hi Foozi. Bellissima impressionate presnetazione in perfetta DOF e ottimo contrasto. Eccellenti luce e colori.

Bonjour Foozi,
Excellente profondeur de champ faisant bien ressortir les détails mais la lumière, bien qu'elle fasse resplendir les couleurs, me semble un peu trop violente ; domage que le cadrage soit un peu trop serré.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard

Hi Foozi
