Shot the same day as the previous waterlily. This time the distance allowed me to compose more loosely.

Nikon D300s, AFS105mm F/2.8 Micronikkor, ƒ/16, 1/160 Sec, ISO 200 and Tripod.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Pink Waterlily and let me know what you think of this one.

Nicely composed with good control of the tones. Lovely to look at.

An excellent trio Ram! I like the way that they move through the frame.

Beautiful trio, Ram! Nice choice of the obviously smaller aperture. Would be helpful to see your camera settings for this.

Good comp. It feels a little pallid to me. :smile:

Ram: Yes, but thinking back on it, I think it is as much the directly overhead shot and lack of shadow, due to the soft light. :smile:

Well done, Ram. Three is always a good number, and the comp is well balanced. The pale yellow petals of the lilies gives this image a nice, soft look, especially in this light. :toast:
