Dear TL-folks!

When I first saw thess blue waterlilies, they one in FG, gave me an impression of a "Blue Volcano with a Golden Crater". The glowing yellow part of the waterlily represents the Golden Crater.

Are you agreed with me too? :)

Hope you like the shot..

best greetings,
Paras

Very neat work, my friend.

Hello Paras! Nice flowers, very nice light and colours, good focus. Well done!

Hi Paras,
Great and original POV. I like how you sort of created a birds eye view and showed not only the flower. The dark touch adds a good mood to the photo. Good focussing and the shalow DOF worked wel.

Hello Paras,

A second and even more striking 'blue volcano'!
I like how the repetition of the flowers makes a nice lead into the shot creating an impression almost of flying and gives a good sense of perspective.
The focus is sharp and details well defined.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

dear Paras,
this widely spreading figure of petals are nice, like showing welcome message toward the sky.
or flowers are voyaging space stations floating between green nebulae...
anyway a little mysterious light and colors are characteristic and excellent,
thank you,
