I can't resist, when ever I see a violet Waterlily I must take a photo.
They are so beautiful with their yellow center - the sun - and the changing colour to the blue tops looking like made of wax.
Slowly they open the "fingers" like telling you: Look how pretty I am.

This shot was made at one of the most beautyful places in Bangkok - at Wat Arun. A perfect day!

Hi Sabine,

Stunning macro. Amazing colours. Perfect sharpness and clarity. Top marks. Thanks.

Hi Sabine,
great contrasting complementary colour combi, and a beautiful close-up. Great with the diagonal composition. Very dynamic with the partly closed partly opening "fingers", you just wait for some more popping open. Good job!
Regards,
Gabi
P.S. Out of smileys for today - shall smile later!

Guten Morgen Sabine,

Sabine,

Stunning picture. Great detail and the colors are superb. I like the composition, its completely different than the usual flower pictures.
Well done.
Kim

Looks like a pair of hands with numerous delicate fingers joined together in an intricate dance mudra or posture.
In various classical dance forms of India, the opening of a flower is articulated through this posture.
Great composition, Sabine.

Hallo 'Wishnu', the focus of your picture urges one to enjoy just this colourful detail of one blossom which otherwise is amalgamated by surrounding plants and blossoms. Very nice perspective.

Hello Sabine!

Nice colors. The tight cropping really makes it abstract. I love the satured colors that contrast beautifully. Sharpness and exposure are excellent.

You have an excellent close-up vision and TFS it with us.

Hello Sabine, this is a nice shot. Lovely colours and a very nice composition. The details are great - very well done.

Very beautiful! This is incredibly nice, it is of a unique perspective and the colors give this life. It's as though it is of an alien nature. Very cool Sabine. :)

What a very intenst colors and composed in such a great way. The light and sharpness are just perfect. Great choise of the DOF. The macro has created a piece of art which shows part of the lily normally not seen.
