Thanks for the help, D. Allen. Much appreciated. As you can see, it worked.

It certainly did. Thanks for posting your first over here on WOD forum. The colors are refulgent to use a word I heard recently, just glowing like stained glass.

Would you care to share some of your ideas about it and technical details?

That's great. Thanks again. Just sort of experimenting with posting images.

Sure. The picture was made with a digital camera, Finepix S 5000, at the Water Garden in Denver Botanical Gardens: http://www.botanicgardens.org/pageinpage/home.cfm

It's one of the largest and most beautiful Botanic gardens I know of.

It was made about high noon, not usually the best time to photograph, but this time it worked to my advantage because having the sun directly overhead accounts for the clear view in the water beneath the lily pads.

I edited the photograph using the Filter in the PhotoShop Elements.

I hope it would do Claude Monet proud.
