"Beautiful beyond description." Love the grass straws in contrast with the lovely pink petals, and the greeneries in the fore and background. Colors looks so natural and authentic. Great focus, angle, framing placement, lighting and strong technical skills.

initial impact is very good. the flower is just beautiful and takes command over everything around it. the background has a nice soft focus while the flower is nice and sharp. very nice.

Comment from Mollie213
What an initial impact. My first thought was you had placed a flower among the weeds. Isn't it wonderful
that something this beautiful
could be growing and blooming among what appears to be dead stalks and stems.
It's really placed perfectly and the color is gorgeous.
Thanks for showing us this little "God wink."

Beautiful shot of lotus, the dry grasses become bonuses of beauty here. Together with the blurry green leaves of lotus these grasses composed this composition which it focal point is the pink lotus.well done

A very well through out image nicely framed in good light and clear colours. I like the old and new life going on with the dead grass and the new sprouting with the add bonus of this lovely pink flower in its full glory. Good DOF keeping the flower in focus and detail but showing the background just out of focus works very well.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of the long stemmed Pink Lotus Flower emerging from a jungle of reeds growing alongside in the water. Artistic composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

How lovely this flower is standing tall in the midst of taller reeds. Very nice framing, focus and depth of field.

I really like the long tall frame of this picture. The flower is in the perfect spot and the focus and clarity from edge to edge is perfect.

Love the perfectly out of focus background.

Very nice!
