"Water lily in bloom"

Photo courtesy of Eric McFerrin. Photographer Eric McFerrin has been sending in some amazing images of late, and today's picture is yet another fine example. He shot this beautiful water lily blossom on a recent visit to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. The water lily has always been one of my favorite flowers, and thanks to their many variations in color and size there are countless opportunities for taking unique and interesting photos of them. The camera and settings Mr. McFerrin used to capture this gorgeous image are as follows: Camera: Canon EOS 40D Shutter speed: 1/320 sec. Aperture: f/4 Focal length: 200mm Click here to comment on this picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!                                 Place the "Picture of the Day" on your website, for free!
