Its not spring here, we are now heading into Autumn, although the weather is still summery..but we have some lovely water lillies on display at the moment.

This one taken at the Auckland Domain in Auckland City recently.

What a pretty white waterlily this is. It looks very gentle and pure :)

It's pure, it's nice, really an excellent work.

Hello Dawn,

This is an outstanding shot!
The sharp details of the opening flower, set against the subdued, blurred b/g are superb.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Good flowers photography. Neat shot. Nice soft light.

Hi Dawn,

Beautiful white waterlily starting to open out. Good clarity and detail. I also like the colour combinations of the green tones with the white petals in this composition. Very effective and appealing.

Regards and tfs,
Martyn

Hi Dawn (got the name right this time),
Superb photo, is this one of the water lilies in the pond inside the hothouse? I was trying to get a shot over the top of the white one but it was too far in the water. There's an awesome pink one in there too. Excellent POV and focus with this shot. Looks great, roll on Autumn.

Thanks for sharing,
Scott.

Simple but appealling photo Dawn, it's interesting that you chose to take the photo side on which is different. It's very pure in it's colour and composition.

Hello Dawn!
Very delicate and fine composition!
Soft and lovely!
Great work you have done!
Best regards!
Lili

PS - I have an WS for you... :)

Lovely shot with beautiful white, good clarity and bg blur. Good job
warm regards

Bonsoir Dawn,

This a nice close up well exposed showing good details in shadows and highlights. Tight cropping and shallow DOF concentrate attention on the white petals. Nice work and TFS.

Hi Dawn !

A superb catch.
Since there is not spring, but ... is close.
I feel and all waiting for.
Have a nice day,
Adrian

Ooo nice use of small DOF, great detail and the white is pure without being washed out - very well done!

TFS,

Cadi

Stunning shot! So beautiful in its lighting, sharpness, and DOF.

What else to say - to me this belongs on a full glossy page of a coffee-table book.

Hi Dawn,
It does not feel like spring here.. It is down right COLD and windy!
But your flower looks really warm! I love how you control the whites
