22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Waterlily After the Rain

A lone waterlily covered in raindrops surrounded by lily pads. A single raindrop captured rippling on the calm waters of the lily pad pond. The pink waterlily is a stark color contrast to the cool blue and green tones from the pond and lily pads. I tried to keep the picture in cool tones because I usually edit my pictures on the warmer side, but I love the color palate of this picture and the contrast of the colors.
