First Water Lily of 2009
The pond is occasionally hit by the sprinkler system. This is what I found several days ago and I nearly had to get belly-down on the brick path to shoot this through the pickerel rush. Too bad I couldn't get one of the dragonflies or damselflies to alight upon one of the petals at the same moment.
I love the symmetry and deep colors here. And the lighting was nearly perfect to allow the undersides of the petals to show in reflection (either by direct light or light passing through the petals).
This is extremely sharp so: please enjoy it 'On Black'.
