Larvae? You mean because of the seeds in the pods?

i wish this was in wall paper size it would be so cool on my screen!

i dont know if you are into manipulating shots, but if you are i think tweaking the levels a bit would add a little more "zing"

marble911 In reply to inspiredimperfection [2007-11-20 10:09:04 +0000 UTC]

I could send you a bigger version for using it as a wallpaper, just let me know what resolution.
I did tweak the levels and contrast a bit. Maybe it could take some more, but I usually prefer not to change too much. Nature girl - you know

Shouldn't be a problem. I'll send it to you later today, don't have access to the external drive it's on at the moment. Can you note me with your e-mail address?

Lotos is a very fascinating plant, from the blossoms to the leaves with the lotos effect to the seed pods...

Some people apparently aren't interested at all (in particular if you tell them something about animals in their own photos), I'm glad you are!

I saw both images in my devwatch, so the guessing game is over I reckon.
Lovely shot though, the composition works really well.

marble911 In reply to FLuKee [2007-09-20 11:33:28 +0000 UTC]

I'm still thinking of a better way to do it. Maybe I should leave more time between the guessing part and the solution? Dunno how long, though.
