Water Lily
This water lily grows in the middle of a disused pond.
the water was still and quite muddy.

Nymphaeaceae is a name for a family of flowering plants. Members of this family are commonly called water lilies and live in freshwater areas in temperate and tropical climates around the world. The family contains 8 genera. There are about 70 species of water lilies around the world[1]. The genus Nymphaea contains about 35 species across the Northern Hemisphere[1]. The genus Victoria contains two species of giant water lilies and can be found in South America[1]. Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on the water surface. The leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria.

Water lilies are divided into two main categories: hardy and tropical. Hardy water lilies bloom only during the day, but tropical water lilies can bloom either during the day or at night, and are the only group to contain blue-flowered plants.

Hi Foozi, good composition as it really makes this work. The color of the flower and the color of the background compliments this well. A moody shot. Good job, thanks.

The water lily is stunningly beautiful Foozi. A fine off-centered compo, the visible round pad and the still water are handsome additions. Regards...

Excellent simple compo, I like the pink/silver blue contrast and the vignette effect...
