Water Lily, A Study In Pastel

[smoke665]

Found this little gem the other day and just got around to post processing. Not sure if I'm done with it yet. Any suggestions on making this better?

Well I see the "double-up bug" got me on this thread. Sorry for the other post, will confine comments to this thread.

@OGsPhotography your post on the other thread. Won't be back that way for at least another year, so what I have is all I get. This particular flower was in a shaded pond with dapple light. Just happened that some fell on the flower. The pond water in the area is almost black due in part to the high levels of tannin I'm told. My original crop was tighter, but then I saw the detail on the roots peaking out of the murky black.

And one more from the pond, different light and a little more/deeper color in the petals. Both of these shot with a 50-200 Pentax glass that I picked up used for $75. Not to shabby. Starting to love this lens.

Very nice.
Good job on the lens. Always nice to get a good lens at a bargain.

What's really interesting is the fact that both these were shot with a 50-200 Pentax zoom, that I picked up used for $75.
