Description

Sunset across the wetlands

(Lotus flowers close at night and dip beneath the water. Here, there was no water, only the exposed muddy bottom at the fringe of the marsh. I don't know what they do - I wasn't there at night - I imagine, curl their petals up and wait for dawn!)

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/350 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 63.00 mm, Model: KODAK DX6490 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA

You have done it AGAIN, Nadya! This is masterful! To me this LOOKS like it IS all underwater...in nice clean shallow waters. It's just beautiful!

Great job! -Laura
