About the Image(s)
From the New York Botanical Garden. Have no idea exactly what the flower is as it was in the middle of one of the conservatory pools. A lot of cropping and some sharpening required.
Taken with iphone 17 pro max on its first major outing.

Pretty image. Like the yellow against the green and love the water drops. I might deepen the green in the leaves and maybe reduce the highlights a tad so the water drops stand out more. Posted: 10/10/2026 21:06:11
It's a beautiful capture! I can really feel the beauty of the flower, and the watery appearance enhances the composition. I also agree with Joey about reducing the highlights slightly Posted: 10/11/2026 11:18:41
The yellow really pops! against the green background and makes the image. Nice shot! Posted: 10/11/2026 19:08:25
Colorful flower with drops of water contributing to the interest. The composition lack depth which might have been enhanced by taking at a different angle. The contrast is nice with green and yellow. Posted: 10/12/2026 18:16:23
Those water drops are great. The center oft the flower is well positioned in the frame. That part could be sharper but easier said than done. Posted: 10/14/2026 17:46:42
I did find out for you that it is actually a Water Poppy. I didn't know that there was such a thing. Very well done. The water droplets really make this great. Posted: 10/20/2026 20:52:26
