I have just looked at the photo for a long time now, mowing the eyes from one white to another white flower - and sometimes stopping at the green. I get a good, warm feeling here.
Lilies are beautiful enough anyway ... add reflections like that and ... well they're just gorgeous. That light just shows why getting up early is good.
This is an amazing photo. The water is so dark under the white lilies and green leaves. In the water are the reflections and what I first took to be a goldfish but after enlarging it is an old leaf. Wonderful
Fantastic shot Julie! Totally gorgeous and a wonderful composition.
ReplyDeleteOh that is STUNNING! Reminiscent of Monet. I absolutely love everything about this shot!

ReplyDeleteJust lovely with the perfect reflection. Reminds me a little of the swan in Ogden Nash's Carnival of the Animals.
ReplyDeleteI just had another look, and as so often the reflection is even more beautiful than the subject itself.
ReplyDeleteThat is a stunning photo, Julie. The light is just perfect.

ReplyDeleteOut of the dark, into the light, hardly leaving a trace, yet able to provide life.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful photography indeed. Please have a weekend just alike.
