A Water Lily in my backyard several years ago. This particular variety always rendered an image that looked similar to this, muted, saturated and  painterly looking. The damsel fly laying eggs under the leaf was a nice bonus on this day.

Lovely image --- very painterly, with saturated color and damsel fly. Thanks much for including the shooting details.

There's a lot to take in in this lovely image - and it all comes together beautifully Joe. I love everything about this artwork and the end result is a pleasure to view. Love it!

Same here. Punchy colors and nice starbursts.

A very rich watercolor look on the flower. Nice framing with the pads and damselfly.
