Nymphaea sp. (common name: Nuphar)
This shot was taken at Lake George (New York State, USA), where I enjoyed day with Ken and Roy. Just before embarking Roy's power boat, I saw those nuphars at the end of the lake. The sun was still low so the shadows of the tall water plants created an interesting pattern on the floating leaves of the nuphar. The 50 mm Nikkor lens has enough resolution to capture every detail so it was the lens of choice. The flash was not used in order to preserve the shadow lines.

Nuphar II
With its white and soft pink colour this flower was a sheer delight. I was particularly interested in the bud, ready to open, in the right hand side of the corner.

Nuphar III
From a different angle, one could see the flowers without so much light. The darker shade captivated me and I tried to catch it with my camera.
