It looks like Denver Botanic Gardens has had a really nice year. I used to volunteer for them, but since moving to Colorado Springs, that's a bit difficult. Last weekend my wife and I were in Denver and decided to pay the garden a visit. The flowers were definitely on the trailing end of the season in most parts of the garden, but water lilies were in their prime. I've always liked the insane color in the flowers of garden varieties.

Beautiful! You've made what would ordinarily be harsh lighting work perfectly.

Great, Mel! I love the contrast and deep color. This will look great on matte paper!
