Under the Lily Pads

Description

Under the plain green of the Lily pads you look to find the bright colors of life. If you focuse on the what is beyond you are rewarded with beauty.

Taken at close range at water level without first seeing what is was. I enjoy taking pictures at ground level were a camera can go but you can't quite so easily go.


George Clooney stars in THE AMERICAN – a new suspense thriller coming everywhere to theatres September 1st. Going undercover as a photographer, Jack (Clooney) is a deadly assassin. As he roams the streets of Italy, Jack uses the disguise of the camera lens to conceal his true identity and survey his surroundings.

Now's YOUR chance to go "undercover!" THE AMERICAN and deviantART invite you to roam your local streets and capture the hidden corners and secret nooks of your neighborhood. We’re looking for photos that capture a “slice of life” in a natural setting – spontaneous snapshots that reveal a deeper story within the image.

I love the concept of this piece, it's quite lovely, and not something I've seen very often around dA. That right there gives a good feeling towards it.

The biggest suggestion I have is if you moved a little to the right, so the entire thing was right in the center. Also, if you could have moved your camera down a little to get the whole thing under the lily pads.

Maybe (and I'm not sure if this would have worked or not), if you had zoomed in a little bit you would have caught more of the reflection, but that's just a maybe.

Those things aside, I love the colors. I love how vivid the pink is, and how it's solely there, there aren't any around to be seen. It works very nicely with how bright the green is. It's quite lovely.
