Lilly

Nikon D100 with Nikkor 70-200 f/5.8 1.6sec (long exposure)

This is a very good picture. Nice composition, very good color and light. I know that people are entitled to their opinion buth a 3/7 rating without explanation is insane. Perhaps from a visually impaired?

I totally agree!! It's a beautifully composed image.

Thank you for your positive feedback. First rating I got was 3/3 and started to wonder what I did wrong.

 

I took this picture at Longwood Gardens (extremely beautiful), Kennett Square, in PA.

 

This picture was taken in very late evening (night) with natural garden/landscape lights (no flash). Tripods are not allowed in the gardens during evening hours due to liability issues. Therefore, I used every thing I had, including car keys, filter boxes, jacket, lens cap, to balance the camera on the floor to compose the picture while sleeping on the ground. I really loved the angle and landscape light exposing the Lilly and took this shot.

 

Thanks,

Ken
