Passionate Purple

Passionate Purple

The exquisite beauty of this water lily takes my breath away. In some ways, it seems too perfect to be real. I arrived to shoot just after an afternoon rain storm had washed everything clean. I love each water drop and the way the light bounces off of them. The tips of the flower look like they’ve been dipped in liquid plastic, and the purple is such a delightful contrast to the bright yellow.

  • ctheworld

    ctheworld

    I must know more about your camera….I have a Sony Cybershot dsc also, but mine is a W-90, does the H-7 mean that it has a macro capability? I’m sure it’s a far better and more modern camera than mine…...

  • Cee Neuner replied

    It does have macro capacity. It is a point & shoot. One of the better ones that was out about three years ago. I’m still amazed at how good the Sony Point & shoot camera are!!!!
