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!
