Thanks dugster.

Yes, it looks even better in full size. Unforturnately, I had deleted the original file to save disk space.

This is my favour recent photo taken with Carl Zeiss Jena 135/3.5 MC lens on D30. The lens is at present my best quality lens. It's capability in tone and detail reproduction is exceptionally good when price is counted.

If this is your first pic, WE WANT MORE, WE WANT MORE, WOW, The lighting, the composition, the sharpness...... WE WANT MORE....

Joe750 and Bagsfan5, pleased to know you like this photo.

Of course this is not my first pic. I have leant to shot for about a year after I purchase my first DC, Canon PowerShot A40.

In fact, I need to thank Bagsfan5's home country for producing such excellent quality lens that enable me to capture the flower with such good optical quality. I think I would not able to create this photo with my low cost EF lens.

In return to the encourage from Bagsfan5, I decided to post another photo of another lotus taken on the same day. All types of comments will be appriciated.

Both exquisite images. I personally like the second one the most.

Thanks everybody.

In fact I like both of these two pictures equally. I had looked at them many many times but still can't decide which feel better.

Lotus is a kind of very beatiful flower. Both its flower and leaf. But the flower only opens for few months in a year.
