hi tyrone i think if you cropped the first one above the cigy it would look much better. nice photos apart from that.
cheers pa

The new crop is much better, and the 2nd pic is nice just a shame the butterfly isn't in focus a little more.

they are indeed lotus flowers


lo·tus also lo·tos (l?'t?s)
n.
An aquatic plant (Nelumbo nucifera) native to southern Asia and Australia, having large leaves, fragrant, pinkish flowers, a broad, rounded, perforated seedpod, and fleshy rhizomes.
The edible seed, leaf, or rhizome of this plant.
Any of several similar or related plants, such as the water lilies Nymphaea caerula or N. lotus.

I like the crop of the shot I was going to ask were they were but HK is a bit far to go to get some photos :(

Nice work anyway cheers doug

beautiful - almost ethereal !!!
Lighting is gorgeous ... if you didn't want to crop the first shot, you could just clone the ciggy out?
Well done'

Really very nice images.


I think I'd like the first image as was with the cigy cloned out.
:D

Positively ELECTRIC!
I would have cloned or healed the cig. butt out and taken the top edge off down to just under the top of the upper left leaf. i prefer the longer crop with the stalks myself.
SUPER YUMMY!! :D :D
