Morning Beauty [69365 Flowers ]
Uploaded: August 11, 2007 04:48:28
EF100, f/2.8, 1/3200th Second, -2/3ev, ISO100, RAW, tripod
My thanks go out to an unknown photographer roaming Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens;
only after I shot several images of this misted lotus, feeling so lucky to find dew remaining in the heat,
did I notice a woman across the lily ponds with a large spray bottle of water hooked on her belt.
