Inspiring Photo: It's alive #2289798

It's alive [Contest Winner Pool June 2006 ]

Uploaded: June 22, 2006 00:01:03

Description

When I looked at it thru camera lens, I felt it was moving those finger type pollens at me...lol. For this image I removed the water lily petals. Kept a Orange/Yellow glossy catalog sheet in the background and used the table lamp light directly onto the subject.
