[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This water lily photo - or 'yellow and lavender lotus flower' as they are often referred to - was taken at the Lions Nature Education Centre in Sai Kung.

The Nymphaeaceae (water-lilies) belong to the Order Nymphaeales.

They are tuberous plants that are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on the water surface.

The leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria.

Tech: Brightness -3. Contrast +6. Resized and sharpened. Added black border.

Hi Andrew,
Excellent shot of this beautiful flower!
Very good colour, sharpness and composed.
TFS!

Very vibrant and lovely photo, Andrew! It may be oversharpened a bit, but the colors are so saturated and lovely. Nice work!

Beautiful picture, Andrew.
Very good details and clear. Lovely colours and good composition.
Great work.

Hello Andrew , this is a really nice shot and love the colours. I am waiting for the weather to get a little better here in Sweden before I venture into a forest reserve called Tiveden where I will see plenty of these but in Red. Looking forward to the trip. Looking at this shot makes me more eager. Thanks Demetrio.

Hello Andrew!
Great capture.Vivid colors,crisp clear details,sharpness,POV,framing and composition are excellent.Thanks for sharing.

Wow, excellent DOF here, all of the flower within DOF range and razor sharp ;-)
Great colours, the interior is almost glowing, good POV.

Hello Andrew, very nice post. The colours are superb and the details are very sharp. I love the water droplets on the leaves and I like the composition. There is some noise in the BG and I have posted a Workshop to correct this, I hope you like it.

Wonderful colors, Andrew! I absolutely love purple and green together. The crispness is perfect and the water droplets are a huge bonus!

Nice capture,
Alli

HI Andrew
Colours are awsome - nice harmony between the purple and yellow, the green BG setting it off nicely. The water drops on the petals are a bonus. The twig? in the back is distracting and could easily be cloned -out. I would also go for a more square crop - it would suit the subject better IMO. Lastly, there is a slight halo around the petals - USM? that should be addressed, as the noise in the greens as well.

HI,

Amazing colours and clarity. The background and compo is also great.

TFS
