Nymphéa, a photo from Niedersachsen, West

Photographer's Note

Summer is going out and first leaves are yellow, red or brown, also those of water plants - but this single bloom compensates this feeling of end of summer, of beginning autumn - for some moments ...

I think, even it's name "Nymphéa" expresses that it must be something special, something beautiful, something very beautiful ...

My photo was taken at a pond near Burgdorf, Lower Saxony.

Yes Frank, Summer is going out, and here in Luxemburg the temperature has dropped dramatically and it is raining in a long and steady drizzle. Forunately you offer us this aftermath of summer to warm our earts.
Greetings from Luxemburg

Guten Tag Frank,
The calm on the border of the retiring summer. Nenuphar, called otherwise with the water lily in the environment of erubescent leaves inevitably announces the arrival of the autumn. These beautiful flowers adorned once crystalline waters of my brook Welna in regions of Janowiec Wlpk (Wielkopolska), where I gave birth and I was equal. Beauties and the nostalgic photograph.
Best regards from autumnal Poznan,
Jurek

Hallo Frank,
das tiefdunkle Wasser und die zartweiße Blüte der Seerose stehen in einem schönen Kontrast.
Die Blüte ist sehr detailreich. Wenn ich Seerosen fotografiere gerät die Blüte meistens zu hell.
Viele Grüße,

Am Wochenede habe ich mich daran auch versucht - mißlungen. Jetzt weiß ich auch warum, das milchige Wasser gab keine guten Kontrast. Dies ist hier hervrragend gelungen
Viele Grüße,
Achim

Lower Saxony....es klingt so merkwuerdig bei mir, diesen Namen auf Englisch zu lesen.
ich bin an "niedersachsen" gewohnt...tja..wie gesagt, spuert man in diesem Bild das kommende Herbst...die Farben werden waermer, gelber und brauner...die Bluemen sterben..aber gruessen uns mit waermeren Toenen...um uns zu sagen:
"mit tollen Farben verabschieden uns...und mit ebenso erstaunlichen Farben kommen wir ins Fruehling zurueck!"

Hello Frank,
A fine composition with an interesting sense of pending decay as autumn takes over from summer. I like the diagonal placing of the foreground leaf pads and the position of the single flower. Clarity is superb.

Bonjour Frank

Amitiés

Hi Frank. I smell some sadness in your picture and in your note. End of summer, this plant looks like dying but still shoots a flower in the last effort. Not true, water lily is just going "to bed" for winter to surprise everybody with beauty next year.
Nice you have avoided too much reflections in the water, little sparkle of sun and a flower in a "mirror".
Thanks for heart catching photo.
Chris

Hallo Frank,
dies Bild besticht durch die Farben und das Licht! Eine Einladung zum Meditieren und Träumen. Eine wunderbare Arbeit.
Viele Grüße aus dem stürmischen Norden

Hallo lieber Frank,
Mal 'was anders. Aber auch schoen und gut gestaltet. Das tiefdunkle Wasser bildet den richtigen Hintergrund fuer die Seerosen. Fehlt nur ein Frosch der auf irgendeinem Blatt sitzt !
Danke schoen und
mfg aus dem noch immer warmen İstanbul (heute schon zwei mal im Meer gebadet).

Hallo Frank,
sehr gut gelungen, muss ich anerkennen! Bei diesem Thema ist die Komposition keine echte Herausforderung, es bietet viele gute Optionen. (Ich hätte wahrscheinlich einen engeren Ausschnitt gewählt.) Dass aber die weiße Blume mit so vielen Details in feinen Nuancen und mit einem hervorragendem Spiegelbild erscheint, ist wirklich eine tolle Leistung.
Viele Grüße

Frank, your collection is both impressive and intriguing. But this is my favourite. Great composition and it conveys an interesting question.. What lurks in the dark waters?
Thanks for a great display.
