    Beautiful flowers, but the light is really harsh. Do you have access to them at an earlier or near sunrise time?
    I love water lilies :)

    Unfortuantely this was away from home, about a 3 hour drive and yes, the time of day was direct sunlight. Thanks for commenting.

    Very nice especially the 3rd. Shame that you couldn' have gotten them in softer light. I wish I ahd more colroful ones in my neck of the woods. We only have the white lillies around here.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Beautiful set, Keith! thumb.gif

    These are easy to blow out and it seems like it's always difficult to get a good angle.

    Outstanding! its when I see professional quality work like yours that I realise how much I have to learn...

    Simular subject in a local pond at the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge in Maryland, but not the same quality results. You have great clarity and far superior light conditions.

    OMG, don't let Shay catch you saying that!

    Light is never harsh, it's direct. lol3.gif
