To get this photo (macro 1:2) I had to lie on my stomach, wiggle out (whilst holding the camera) hang over the edge of the pond and get as close as possible to the waterlily which was in the middle of the square pond. Not the most comfortable position to be in - but i'm pretty pleased with the result.

As always, C&C most welcome.
