Hi Folks,

It’s Monday again and let’s all be cheerful on this first day of the week, just like this beautiful water lily.

Here is briefly about the flower that I captured at the ethnobotany garden, just below the Sabah State Museum, one of my favourite photohunting spots:

Nymphaeaceae is a family of flowering plants. Members of this family are commonly called water lilies and live in freshwater areas in temperate and tropical climates around the world.

The family Nyhmpaeaceae contains 8 genera. There are about 70 species of water lilies around the world. The genus Nymphaea contains about 35 species across the Northern Hemisphere.

The genus Victoria contains two species of giant water lilies and can be found in South America. Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on the water surface.

The leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria.
Water lilies are divided into two main categories: hardy and tropical.

Hardy water lilies bloom only during the day, but tropical water lilies can bloom either day or night, and are the only group to contain blue-flowered plants.

Water lilies can be fragrant, such as Nymphaea odorata.

Find more info from the source here.


Thanking you in advance for viewing and your kind words.

HEllo Agoes,
Lovely framing of the sharp water lily, always a favorite for its perfect symmetry. It is bright and the dark b/g enhances its composition. One of these days when I retire perhaps I can visit Sabah's ethnobotany garden. Good day my friend....Danilo

Beautiful capture the water lilies in the correct exposure and right angle POV with suitable light too,Highly sharpness and so outstanding in this BG too.Good work,TFS.

Gaman,

Nunu kangku di, pasal bunga saja kasi sama kau sajalah, hasilnya memang cantik. DOF sungguh jelas. Composisi dengan latar hitam yang sungguh baik sekali.

Great job Agoes! A beautiful flower against a dark background is a winner! Well done, thanks!

Assalamualaikum,
Kalau sia tidak silap, macam Monday lepas pun bunyi-bunyi begini juga - bagus juga ni idea ada tema personal...

Purple and black is a nice combo that I like to use, especially to enhance an elegance mood of a graphic work. It works really well in this shot too.

What gives this a lift of impact is the pinned composition at the exact top view of the lily. And, of course a great clarity and sharpness that you always have in your shots.

Salam
Ndan.

i love the colors and details and wow is that pentax is cool!
nice shot,
tfs,

Hello Agoes,
Great capture with brilliant, brilliant colors and sharpness. Really stands out against the background. Beautiful!

Best regards,
Sharina

Sticking image. It not easy to photograph of a flower from that angle and get a great image. Here, every petal is in focus, the exposure was perfect. I wonder how you took this picture.
