the lady was right to yell and stop the others; a very nice capture of these beautiful yellow waterlilies with the water drops as a bonus;

A lovely composition. I like the great depth of field and the outstanding colors. Beautiful soft lighting gives you nice tones and excellent details. The flowers stand out well against the dark background.

Love the beautiful color and the drops of water on the flowers, nice background, and good frame, like excellent clarity and good DOF. Great details and sharp focus. Good job

Mary this is a real eye catcher. Angle of shot and presentation of these beautiful water lilies is spot on. Good lighting and strong detail in the colour of the complete flowers. Good b/g. Excellent photo
Thanks for sharing

Wow thanks Julie for the 6 stars and lovely review. If you are at Port Elliot it was in the gardens of the retirement village (Elliot Gardens) looked an idyllic place to retire. :) Mary

Hi Mary I live up here and don't now anything about some of these places. A must to check out *Julie

Well spotted! Definitely worth the stop. Gorgeous soft light with the raindrops on the petals. Gorgeous soft yellow lilies, very well positioned in the frame and lovely control of exposure. Well done!

LOL!! your time away sounded like our 2 weeks in Perth wet and windy nearly the whole time. A lovely photography of beautiful yellow waterlilies. The fully blown one at the bottom and the tighter one at the top. great dark background to compliment the yellow. Well taken. (We have just arrived back last night and it is over cast and cool here in Toowoomba)

Beautiful water lilies, very nice composition, excellent colours and clarity. Still wet from the rain, and the raindrops are a nice touch to this photo. Like the black background, brings out the colour and details of the flowers.

Wow, love it, super submission. The dark background, focused and framed with a fresh look for a pleasing sight. Top of the line work.
