ARPS #2 – Figure of 8

Figure of 8 was taken at the same session as Emeralds of Spring at the Singapore Botanical Gardens. The strong repetitive “figure of 8” arrangements of the lily pads attracted me. The lone blooming flower bud helped to serve as an anchoring main subject for the shot against the interesting background of the leaf pads. The gentle nature of the evening sunlight warmed the whole scene dramatically.
