Love the composition and those waterdroplets! Blooms are so glowy too. Great image from such a classic subject.. #1701703

Mary N C. Taitt August 10, 2005

Thank you so much Jenny, Joy, Goshka, Kerby, Tammy, Anne, Laura, Reine, Kate, Roxanne and Kirsi for your attention and kind comments.

It is hard to find something worth doing with a "classic" (or possibly overdone) subject. On the other hand, the reason it is "classic" is because it is so worthy of careful attention. Good luck on your project(s) (all of you!) Mary. #1701881

Fax Sinclair level-classic September 17, 2005

Aloha Mary! Your whole gallery today is just fabulous. But I had to comment here -- speaking as one who has taken four MILLION shots of water lilies, this is perfection. Your depth of field captured the raindrops and both flowers -- and the tender little drops on the underside of the flowers. Fabulous.
I was just about to put in a couple of my latest -- we're on the same wave-length! #1848630
