[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Bangkok's Lumpini Park has a small pond with water lilies blosseming all year round. I often go there in the mornings - with or without my camera. Well, on this occasion I had it with me and this big lizzard turns up. It was a second or two before the animal moved on, and the result is this.

PP: Cropped, partially brightened (upper BG), red curve +10%, saturation +10%, sharpened, re-sized and framed

Thank you for visiting!

WoW, what an image! What a moment to capture! You are really lucky. The sharpness is enviable - you must have been really fast. Fine colours and composition as well.

Hi Cordelia,

I see that his trip Bangkok's is being very well entertaining and pleasure. Their pictures are simply wonderful, beautiful places and pictures of high quality.
Congratulations for showing us beauties of this wonderful world.

Hello, Cordelia,
It seemes that you were at the right place at the right time, really a cool image :)
The composition is good, the bright colour of the lily stands out before the green-greyish ones. Nice choice of frame!
Regards, Evgenia

Hi Cordelia! very good shot! impresive contrast with delicate flower and spider. Great!
Thanks a lot again to remember me in my exams. Today i finish it. (succesfully I hope!)

An artistic image has been composed in this frame having dynamic subjects. Fine details in good illumination are looking excellent. Well done my friend.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Dear Cordellia,

Really good capture and Nice name Matched with the Picture. Its just like Beauty and the beast.

But as your a professional i just think that if you would have blurred the back ground leaving lily and lizard as they are it would have looked more amazing. But still is good.

With best regards,

Muhammad Usman Ali

Beatiful composition! I really love the contrast between the animal and the flower, and the pink tones with the green background... It is a very interesting POV! Congratulations!

I seem to have overlooked this one Cordelia. I love the colour of the flower. The lizard has good colour and detail and the whole scene nicely presented with that framework. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Shadows’

Superbe cette composition, bravo mademoiselle Cordelia, vous avez été toujours très gentille et tolérente à mon égard. Votre encouragement fut constant et pas dans le but d'obtenir des points . C'est remarquable de votre part et votre façon de gérer TE est la vraie. C'est à dire mature et très honnête. J'apprécie beaucoup et félicitations pour votre français c'est tellement important pour nous les Québecois qu'on admire ceux qui le prot;ege hors du Québec et de la France . Bonne et heureuse année .. Réal.
