Lotus Blossom -This image was captured with a Canon 7D. I used a Canon EF100m f 2.8 macro IS lens.
Aperture was f 2.8 at 1/640 second at 100mm. Dorothy Barnard

I visited my neighbor's backyard pond several times waiting to get just the right moment of blossoming for this Lotus. Mother Nature cooperated and allowed me to capture this image before the flower faded away.
