Oh, this is nice! I swear, it looks unreal. The way that the edges of the Lilly pads are just slightly protruding above the surfaces gives the entire image a 3D look. The lines are so smooth, they almost look liquid. Great composition. Amazing capture.

thank you so much for really looking at it and appreciating things like that :hug: i stood there FOREVER and I kept over exposing the water lilly trying to get it right - i had one that had a blue dragonfly in the composition too :faint: but the water lilly was over exposed on it :| anyway - thank you! this is no levels either - i did one layer blend on multiply to get it that dark yet keep the clarity of the underwater plants. i like the orange coy radiating around the leaf he's swimming under. :)

psst it's "koi" - hehe coy is like shy or reserved ;-)

Beautiful picture, though - i love how the color from the fish bends around the lily.

Very nice shapes.

Crispness of the photo hypnotizes me :)

Wow... I look at this and I can't believe my eyes. The colors are so vivid against the dark of the water. That flower is so bright against everything! And I almost feel like I can touch the smooth lily pads.
Your work is amazing... and nice play on words ;)
