Congratulations on your feature! Beautiful shot, it reminds me of prints done in the 1930s in its style. You certainly have a magic touch with B/W!

This image is just so amazing, I can't get over it! Absolutely gorgeous!!--Brenda is right, this is definitely a Lotus blossom, I have taken pictures of it in the Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison, Wisconsin and admired the plants there. Your shot is just a dream!!!

said Darlaree 2008.08.21 at 23:36:05 PDT

very nice entry. I see why they picked it as a sample.

said police370 2008.08.21 at 19:41:35 PDT

I recognize this as the exemplar image for the challenge, and no wonder. It's exquisite. The lotus - for that's what it is, rather than a water lily - looks transformed.

said faranya100 2008.08.21 at 06:36:04 PDT

Great entry, good luck in the challenge.

Looks almost as if there is a light illuminating the lotus from beneath. Just beautiful. Can you share with me how you process your B&W pix? I'm new in B&W. Thanks. chrispua@yahoo.com
