Reflections of a Lily by TwoPynts

Here is a slightly more abstract take on the whole water lily theme. The star here is the wavering reflection of the lily in the water. The photograph was rotated 180 degrees and I had to lighten the reflected area a bit to achieve this look. Do you think Monet would have approved? Another flower for Mothers everywhere. Have a great weekend! -----
Thanks for your heartfelt comments on my previous upload,
Mother's Lily

Ohhh marvellous... such effect... gorgeous capture!
I'm sure Monet would have approven ! I'm living not so far from his marvellous garden in Giverny and I visited the place several times. Your marvellous pict has its place and a huge one Kort ! Excellent !
Would Monet approve? I think he'd order a copy for HIS mommy! It's full of life and refreshing freedom. Thank you.
this lily series is great.... i love this rippled refletion
Very nice. Aloha

beautiful, like a graphic image bravo
very wonderful indeed! :o)b
I like it.
Beautiful!!!
Not so much Monet but it is very interesting. I like the scallops around the pad best. they are in sharp contrast to the other lines and shapes in this. Very nice.
An excellent capture! Love the effect of the seems to start to dissolve into the reflections!
Very artistic this idea and lovely colours
Very beautiful continuous work they is marvellous and passes a beautiful weekend;)
I think the water does have a Monet feel to it, but the leaf almost looks like a clam about to open up and gobble the abstract flower ! ~Cheers~ :o)
Very abstract shot....I love the strong color of the lilly!
What a super reflection you caught here. I like Monet but yours are more defined so I like yours better. Lovely work.
Monet? Haven't seen his stuff on the Renderosity website as yet. Is he in the photography section? Wonderful colors, shimmering effects and POV in this abstractive creation, Kort! The petals remind me of the undulating blades of a kris: a Malaysian double-edged dagger. Happy Mother's Day!
fantastic series of these wonderful flowers,amazingly beautiful art work**********
BEAUTIFUL !!!!
I don't know about Monet, but you knocked my socks off with this one. Breathtaking! No socks, no breath...not a good sign for me, so better get this into my favorites before I pass out! Do ya think I like it, Kort? Perfection! Hugs, Suzanne x:)
I must be hungry. I keep seeing a big lobster claw...lol. It's lovely, Kortaloo. Very abstract and kind of mysterious. I like that it makes me look a tad longer. -M :^)
W-o-o-o-o-o-o-w!!!!! Now this is Exceptional!!!!!
It's a very striking image. Pop over to London with it. They have an exhibition of Monet at the moment.
hm... i thought you`ve done here some postwork, but on a secoud look there are some waves in the water :) cool find!!!
I think he would have loved Photoshop! very nice pic
It would be very hard to choose between the two of these, they are both magnificient! The relection and refraction in this is exceptional and it is so like a wonderful painting!
Brilliant idea and an awesome realisation!!! Monet would have approved (I guess:)))!
