This photo differs a lot from my usual type of edit. I like sharp and colorful photos and this I did the opposite. I muted the color just a bit, softened and blurred the image and darkened the background. Then I enhanced the little silvery slivers shimmering in the water. I like the colors, mood and atmosphere of the lilies found in a garden in Hawaii. Thick foliage covered the whole canopy over the water with just a shaft of light touching the lily pads. I may try a few more like this, it was interesting and I really like the final image. Look out C. Monet.
