Bangladesh Water Lily

Outside of the hustle and bustle of Dakha - Bangladesh lies a quiet park were people can walk, sit, and reflect on the beauty of creation around them. One afternoon as I was sitting in the grass, I was struck by the awesome beauty of these water-lilies floating in the lake beside me. A perfect moment to capture...!

Oh, my, Steve. This is such a wonderful vision.
That blue and that red are incredible together. So well done.

This is such a perfect example of good composition and color. Bangladesh is still on my "Places to see list" and when I go through your shots from there, I keep having the urge to move it up a few rungs!

One more favorite! and I understand well why -
strange is not it, you, specialist of human culture and faces, has it most favorited picture a "simple" landscape if one can call it like that...

Of course, it is one we could (and would like) to have on our wall and look at it, delight in it day by day!

so much great contrast, balance, tranquility. etc
