Fragrant Waterlily - Nymphaea odorata

Note how oddly blue the water appears. I'm not sure why - maybe just from the reflection of the sunlight...

Really love this shot! I hadn't noticed the blue as in any way distracting, it's a well exposed shot. Posted 6 years ago

  Thanks! I think the blue is pretty cool, but it definitely didn't look like that in person. Posted 6 years ago
