A very interesting story in this image, like the composition showing the boat used to go out and clean the weeds out of the pond,
A pleasure to look at, thank you for sharing, dale

This storytelling photo has great colors and composition! The blue sky reflected on the water appears in just the right spot. This would look nice framed and displayed. Thanks for sharing! Daphne Oberon

Actually, looks pretty clean to me. And very beautiful as well. This is a very wonderful photograph, SG. Great color and reflection - not to mention the composition with the angel of the boat.

A beautiful image that shows the natural beauty of the lily pond requires a bit of a hand from a caretaker. The boat is well positioned in the frame and the colors are superb.

What a lovely picture full of colours. No wonder Monet got inspired in these surroundings and came out with those masterpieces. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing!

You have achieved a wonderful perspective of Monet's garden. Very well photographed with good lighting, sharp focus and incredible details in your image. I love seeing the lily pods and the colorful lush greenery in the background. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

Yes, I bet that takes some doing! Excellent shot showing the process of cleaning the famous Lily pond. I like the angle you used for this. Love the clear reflections of the sky and surroundings of the pond. Very good lighting and focus showing a lovely clear image. Very nice composition. Suzanne
