Simplicity . . . Never underestimate the impact of simplicity when making an image. Sometimes the most basic of shots becomes a powerful piece in your body of work. So any time I am out shooting, I am always looking around for something very simple and basic. This Lilly pad is just what I was looking for. It tells a story . . . or I think it does, anyway . . . why did this particular Lilly pad sprout up all by itself when a entire colony of pads were just a dozen feet away? What creature of the earth is making a meal out of the edges? I always want my images to inspire imagination - whether I know it at the time of exposure or not - sometimes it's a subconscious effort on my part!
This was shot with the Tamron 28-80 at f5.6 at 60th of a second. ISO 100
