The inverted reflections of the flowers in the water look like watercolour paintings.

Sweeping the camera to the side creates a blurred background, as well as an eye-catching contrast between the dynamic motion of the blur and the perfectly still flowers in the foreground.

In addition to the lotuses, there are many fascinating creatures here, including damselflies, dragonflies, and spiders. They add movement and life to the quiet calm of the pink blossoms and green leaves of the lotus in the pond.
