Nice set of water lilies Russ. Works nicely with the black water.

Russ, great job making this a panorama. I don't think it would work otherwise. :toast:

Very nice, especially with the reflections of the blooms against the dark water.

Russ, this really is sublime. Althought I'll buck the trend and say that I wouldn't mind seeing a crop with more negative space - to accent the simplicity of the image - as a point of argument here. The panoramic is the obvious/expected choice. But I still love what you presented. Perfectly processed.
