Purple Flames

purple lotus

Canon 70-200mm, f/4. The lotus was in the middle of a pond and my lens wasn't long enough to fill the frame with the flower like I wanted to, so this is a crop of the original image.

Beautiful. The colors in that flower are wonderful and I love the angle of the photo.

I think you found the right balance in this crop, between the space occupied by the flower and the smooth background.

Glowing from within - gorgeously saturated.

Amazing! I found the exact same flower here in Trinidad - http://www.ttltt.com/nature/return_of_the_lily.php
Lucky for me I got to shoot this one close up.
