Peach Glow water-lily[edit]

Original - Nymphaea 'Peach Glow', a hybrid water-lily cultivar
Edit 1 - minor NR in shadows and enhanced detail contrast
Reason
This water-lily shot has pretty much everything one could want in flower portrait: sharp detail, good resolution, preservation of the subtle color variation between the concentric rows of petals, water droplets, and a backdrop of lily pads.

  • Support Beautiful photograph. And oh, the location... Any chance of going back? A shot of the arboretum would be delightful. DurovaCharge! 04:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have some other shots from my trip today that I'm processing, but it was a behind-the-scenes bonsai tour and we didn't have much time to explore the rest of the garden; I didn't get a chance to get nearly as many pictures of the (full-size) trees as I would have liked. What I did shoot is uploading to Flickr as I type, and whatever I can find a home for in articles will be on its way to Commons. I didn't get any wide-angle shot that would be representative of the arboretum, and it will probably be a while before I return to the BBG (although after this trip, I'm really looking forward to another).--ragesoss (talk) 04:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
