Here is one of my favorites from the archives. I photographed this waterlily about two years ago in a wetland that is about a five minute paddle from my family’s cottage on Horseshoe Lake near Parry Sound, Ontario. I handheld the camera over the side of the canoe, using my hotshoe bubble level ensure that all was square with the world. I shot many frames to get this composition as I was unable to look through the view finder without tipping the canoe. Live view, available on many of today’s cameras would certainly simplify this shot today. For an added twist to this favorite of mine, I converted it to black and white using Nik Software’s Silver Efex Pro.
Very well done Andrew.
Super composition and great use of the Waterlily as a FG element.
Denise and Ray thanks very much for your kind words. They are much appreciated.
