Very Nice Michelle! #5974774Les Rhoades May 25, 2008
quite a statement! Well presented. It's not everyday you see black water so this does make me scratch my head on how you achieved the final result. #5974804Michelle R. Kovach May 25, 2008
Thank you Sherry, Renata, Melinda, John & Les! I appreciate all your comments!Les, the pond that the lilies are in is black concrete. The water was actually clear but because of the color of the pond itself the water looked black.
From other angles it reflected the ceiling of the orchid house & looked at some points silver or gold. #5974826
