Water Lilly

Wow ! that was quick
First could i please give AJ the credit she deserves , without AJ the image would not be possible.
The water was very cold,I had to sit in it to get some of the shots.
She was in the water for close on an hour ,AJ not once complained other than a bit of a shiver then back into it.
Thanks AJ
I was really worried that i was going to ruin the picture .
Now comparing it to the original i can really see the difference.
Thank you all for pushing me.
cheers

I just noticed--you took out her earrings. I definitely approve of that change. :-)

Ralph Meznar Yes the earings went it really cleaned up the image
as they did seem out of place.
Thanks for the suggestion

I'm so thrilled to see this finally make it through! I loved it from the beginning, but your final edit has really made it special!

KPK 3 years ago

I liked it from the beginning, although I was one of those who pointed to some things to be enhanced.

Now, I'm glad to see your fine image published. Congrats!
