Lotus Flowers Photo

Photographer’s Note

Following on from the Lotus Flower Pond shots I was able to get close enough to the ponds edge to take this composition.

To further clarify, based on Pauloog's comments these are in fact some kind of Water Lily.
For anyone who wishes to know the definitive way to tell the difference please see this link and forward to 1 minute in:

Hello Matthew,
A nice composition for these water flowers, rendered with good colours and details.
But in my humble opinion these are not at all lotus flowers but a kind of water lilies ???
regards,
Paul
