Spring Splendour
Although we do not have the four seasons here in Singapore (it’s either rain or shine here, with the weather humid throughout the whole year :P), the splendour of spring seems to be in full swing currently at the Botanical Gardens, at least by the Symphony Lake. After my initial visit 2 weeks ago, my repeat visit over the weekend saw the pond filled full of water hyacinths and lotus blooms. I managed to find this particular lotus flower isolated nicely by the morning light. Using partial metering on the flower, the rest of the background was thrown into a nice rich and dark green, emphasizing the flower as the main subject in the frame.
The isolation by natural lighting is simply beautiful. The rich colours and stunning contrast between the colourful flower and the dark green back ground catch my attention immediately. It’s a pity though that the blooming flower seemed shy in the photo, somewhat like taking the back of the flower. Hmmmz…
My wife and I visited the botanical gardens several years ago and I still remember its variety and beauty. Thank you for reminding me of it in this photograph.
Beautiful shot. Well captured.
Thanks guys 🙂
