Found this beauty at the Biblical Gardens In Warsaw, Indiana. I did some cloning and using the patch tool in Photoshop cs2 removed a pot that had rocks in it so it would not distract from the lily. Cropped the image some and then worked on the framing. Sandi♥

Great manip! I can't see any evidence of cloning at all. I really like the clarity of the lily! I might have cropped differently to get rid of the soft liy pads at the top, but this is still an excellent image! Great colour on that lily!

Very nice PS work, Sandi. I can't tell at all! I've been trying to get a water lily since they came out this year, of course now they're all gone, but I missed!! Maybe next year, but it's going to have to be a good one to sit in the company of yours.

I am going to investigate cloning. I don't know how to do that, yet. You did a good job with this, Sandi. Nice colors. Reminds me of my old pond. I had lillies that color.
