Very beautiful, gentle, fragile...and a bit sad...for me, almost as remembering the departure of love, of a loved one....the same as when Lotus are floated down rivers to guide a loved one who has left. I like very much the color and the use of surrounding soft-focus to intensify the flower surrounded within its body of water: as if being carried by hands...fragile and intense simultaneously: the distinquishing characteristic of people as well ;)...ochin horoshow
/2/ Ольга, спасибо :-)
/3/ Bob, your comment is as usual so kind and shrewd. This picture wasn't "planned", I just noticed the flower floating while taking a walk along the lake... I thought it was so beautiful and yet someone threw it away. A sad image really... The departure of love.
