A stunning view of Les Nympheas Lily Pond with the beauty that surrounds it reflected on it's mirror still waters. Artistic composition & framing with beautiful natural lighting with superb camera techniques with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

This is very nice! I think making the pond as the reflective focus was the absolute right way to go with this work! Great cool colors and focus!

This is a beautiful shot of the famous lily pond.. You have chosen the place well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Good luck in the contest!

How exciting to have been in this famous garden, the inspiration for so many of Monet's paintings.
It certainly is very beautiful, thank you for bringing this lovely image to FAR.

Comment from memephotos
Beautiful but everyone says you can't get a bad photo at Claude Monet's garden ( I watched a Documentary on it a few weeks ago)But I say you have to have talent to capture what you have ,I like the fact that the water has great glass shine & the reflection in the water are clearly separate from whats on the banks.& the scene not disappearing in the distance Great Colour angle,focus,thanks

Comment from CammyCards
I see you have been to Giverny. Very nice shot; in which you have used a lot of reflection. The colors are lovely and very Monet-like. Nice job.
