[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken at Botanic Garden, lotus flower is symbol of meditation, creative art, spiritual, sun, and rebirth. Because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again.

This flower is very popular in my country. Usually, it grows in pond near the pagodas or traditional bridges. We make tea and even eat it. As an asian, I love this flower and can't wait to shoot more and MORE of them in my country next month. :)

These are lovely flowers indeed Quang Dang and you've managed to make a very nice composition of them with beautiful color contrast.
Sharpness and exposure are very good and the frame is lovely.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend, Harry

beautiful, beautiful and once more time beautiful...

You don't have to be Asian to like the lotus, Quang. Nice sharpness, saturation and composition. A very nice photo.
