What a gorgeous shot of the flower. There is this orange glow in the centre of the red lotus which makes it look it is from another planet! . Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Thanks for sharing!

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this Magenta coloured Lotus flower it's centre & outer petals bathed in sunlight as are the lily pads below making a contrasting backdrop. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

You have captured the beautiful color of this lotus so well. Focus and clarity are excellent showing great detail particularly in the center of the flower. Very eye catching picture.

Missing : yellow from your title! This is a very enjoyable bloom shot posted here! Like the layers of leaves that have just about opened. Your image is well composed, sharp with good exposure. Well taken!

many thanks nik;
not really missing; the color of a flower is only related to the petals: not dtamens, leaves, stem...
