I haven't had a chance to get out lately, but here is a little shot I took a few weeks ago at Lake Conway. This was the same night Mike got that awesome lightning shot over the river.
Shot with a borrowed Nikon d90/ Nikon 18-200VR 0.625s f11 Hoya Pro Circular Polarizer.

Karla,
This is a pleasant departure from the often too vivid color cranked into photos. I've not used a circular polarizer but I presume some of the effect is from that item. Subtle = nice.
Composition-wise, the wood to the right angles up to the center, and the light pink takes you across the photo to the left to be picked up by the edge of the lily-pads. This leads the eyes back to the wood. I like it.
Good job.

Excellent Karla!

Yours is a photo that invites a good long look. I find the subtle colors most appealing and yet, unlike some images with lots of pastels, the detail in the vegetation is clear and sharp. I suspect Monet would have gazed a while in appreciation at your water lilies.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments...It was a beautiful, muted sky and really reflects what was going on at the time...The sweet calm before the storm.

Lots to enjoy in this one, Karla. Nice detail in the lillies and grass, and gorgeous color. Beautiful work!
