Lily Pad Basks in the Sun

Thank you all for your comments and fav that led to my wine glass/city bokeh shot ending up on TT! Sadly, it was filled with water, not wine...
This image is from my recent trip to Florida for a conference. I was able to go on a few photo walks with Junko @jyokota and learned that there are some beautiful areas and interesting wildlife there. This was from the Naples Botanical Garden.
Processed using Nik ColorEfex solarization filter.

[Trinda Love]

Fav, gorgeous. I use color effects, but never this filter. Interesting.

[Paula W]

I really like your choice of processing here Taffy which really accentuates the light and dark. The light on the lily is really beautiful and I love how the water creeping onto the leaf looks like molten silver. Stayed with friends in Naples about ten years ago and I remember some award winning place that did the most amazing ribs - can't remember the name though! Fav.
