Water lillies in the pond

[Ozzie_Traveller]

G'day all

On one of my town walks and came across this pond with heavy sun beating down onto the lillies and flowers. With heavy dark shadowed backgrounds I realised that the metering would grab this dark stuff and bleach the flowers, so set the EV+/- to minus 0,7 ... and in PP I lightened the shadows by 25% to show just a bit of visual data
