Lotus in Serene Bloom

A serene botanical photograph of pale-pink lotus flowers rising above the perfectly still surface of a quiet lake. Broad green leaves overlap naturally across the dark water, accompanied by several unopened buds and delicate reflections. Soft early-morning mist removes the distant shoreline from view. Photographed near water level with a 100mm lens, realistic aquatic vegetation and reflections, no people, no boats, no insects, no text. Landscape 4:3.
