A very different perspective on Victoria regia. Excellent. Reminds me of a row of pollarded trees in winter. :smile:

As said before interesting shot. I also had no idea what it was before I read it.
I suppose its the Victoria amazonica. The biggest water lilly.

A good mysterious shot.

Very nice - a different perspective and I like the way you got the lighting on the spines.
