Good Morning, Folks!

The title of my today's post defines it story itself.

I was lucky to have this as an opportunity, and by keeping these three waterlilies in a series arrangement, I had a feeling that these flowers try to say something to me...and that was "Three crucial stages in One's Life". Don't you think so?

The flower representing "old age character" is glowing as it shows its life experiences, great work and dedication to its life, make this guy showing its best part of the life. The glowing central part is the proof of my theory ;)

The flower (in distal position) representing "Childhood character" seems shy as it shows its shyness most of the times (like a child). The flower in BG being "shy" again proves my theory :))

I hope I am not going too deep :P but these are just my feelings...

I hope you like the concept :)

with warm regards,
Paras

Nice Paras - I don't really look at flower photos but the thumbnail lokked interesting and I'm glad I opened it. Nice focus at the front of frame with the narrow DOF blurring the scene into the distance! Nice saturation of the colours too.

If I may suggest that you clone out the three white bits in the black of the foreground lower left as I think they detract a little.

Cheers
David

good macro, excellent foreground color and texture sharpness, congratulations, hugs

Hello, Paras -
Great concept and marvelous execution. The progressive row of water lilies leads the eye through the frame; the colors are vibrant and the details are sharp. They do seem to glow, and the dark background provides a fine contrast for the bright blossoms. Excellent image.

Hi Paras

Superb use of the principle of 3, with wonderful sharpness, colour & dof on the water lilies. I also like the receding perspective from right to left. Tfs!

The diagonal arrangement of the water lilies is dynamic. A good example of selective focusing which when combined with the settings chosen, make a very attractive viewing. Regards Paras...This is a beauty.

Hi Paras, this is a super capture and the composition is very well chosen.The title is just right for this wonderful macro . Excellent work my dear friend.I love waterlilies, they are so beautiful and your way of presentation is top of the top. TFS
Regards Rose

Hi Paras,

The receding diagonal line of waterlilies is nicely captured in your composition. The colors are beautiful, and DOF works well to slightly blur the "youngster." I agree with David that the white spots should be cloned out, but other than that this is a superb floral macro. TFS

Best regards,
Werner

Hi Paras

dear Paras,
yes this picture looks like showing us the passing time,
a beautiful waterlily flower is coming here from that dark space, those three are series shot of its orbit...
its parabola is collecting not only solar energy but also the spirit of the universe.
anyway this delicate colors on petals are excellent,
thank you,
