Water lily designs

My local guide in Vietnam knew of a group of older women who express their artistry by arranging water lilies in beautiful designs as the flowers float on water. Early yesterday morning was foggy, and that made the background elements disappear and gave the entire photo session an etherial feel. I used a 100-500mm zoom for this shot with the lens set to 135mm. The settings were 1/400, f/9, and 1250 ISO. I also used my drone here which made an entirely different image. I'll post that tomorrow.

Nancy C Bell - Marvelous! The fog was so helpful in hiding the background and keeping the highlights, especially the bright yellow from blowing out. Love the simple, yet elegant composition. You captured both the beauty and the dignity of the woman and her art.
