The queen of the silvery pond
Uploaded: February 09, 2010
I took this photo with sun light, diffused by a thin layer of clouds. The cloudy sky was also perfect to get the silvery reflection in the water.

I really love this shot! Not only is it wonderfully displayed, but I believe you've captured the 'essence' of a water lily. The title is great as well. #8718512Monica Mermoz June 27, 2010
