A lotus from Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens, a tourist site in Washington D.C. hardly known to visitors. This natural area of Anacostia Park has origins in a 1926 act authorizing parks to preserve forests and natural scenery. The park reflects the history of the nation's rivers and wetlands.

A homesick war veteran from Maine started the Aquatic Gardens as a hobby with a few wild waterlilies in a single pond. Time and diligence turned a trickle of curious visitors to a stream of customers for a growing commercial garden of twenty eight ponds. The dazzling displays were purchased in 1938 by the Federal Government to become the only National Park to display cultivated aquatic plants.

Hi Danilo,

This is one of the flower that people believe has power . . the root is in the water . . the leaves in on the air and the flower is blooming when the sun is shining . .
You captured beautifully . . very sharp on the inner part . .

Tfs,
Tjutjut

Hello Danilo. Beautiful capture of this lotus. Fine details and colors and under excellent light and shadow play. Pleasant crop and thanks for sharing. Best regards. Jusni

Hi Danilo, this is a real superb photo of the waterlilies and you captured it very beautifully, the light is exquisite.
Great comp with the flower off-center and the green leaves on the side to complete the image.
Great dof and sharp.

Cheers :)

Hi Danilo,
This is a superb image of the delicate and beautiful lotus flower. Remembers me at my last journet through Cambodia, I saw thousands of them, but didnt made such a good picture of a single lotus as you did! Excellent brightness and contrast. Nice vivid colours without over saturation. Great posting my friend!

Olá Danilo,

beautiful close up shot. Love the colors and the compo. You have a great eye my friend.

Congratulations,
Romeu

Hi Dan,

What an amazing close up. Excellent in all aspect.

It's my pleasure to go with you shooting macro here in the Philippines Dan. Maybe by that time, I'm using the Nikon D70 that was sent by my sponsor from UK. They liked my pictures. I'm still waiting for the lens from another sponsor from UK. They are my co members in ePhotozine.com. I've told them before that I'm gonna take basic and advance photography but the pre requisite is a DSLR. I have no money to buy even the cheapest one that's why they volunteered to be my sponsors. Thanks God for them. Please contact me if you are here already my brilliant countryman and friend. Thanks for your kind words.

Hi Danilo:
A really nice choice it seems to me to go with a wide DOF instead of blurring the BG... I don't find that distracting at all. The dappled sunlight has a pleasing effect as well.....And the classic pink and green colours are eye catching... thanks ....Roman:0)
