Lotus Blossoms

[Trblmkr]

Today I went out to take pictures of the Lotus Blossoms in the area. This was my first time doing this and found it lots of fun and a very good learning experience. I was using my 55-200mm Kit lens and it was not long enough.
Here are a few of my examples from today.

Nice shots. I like #1 and #3 best of the bunch.

Yes, I like the back lighting on #1.

Thanks for the comments guys. I wasn't sure if the back light on #1 would be too much or the fact that it's a composite picture be noticeable. And with #3, even after editing it, it looks like it's slightly out of focus to me.
