The Lotus flowers were in full bloom. I was able to capture this image with the flower open.
Adapted from film to digital about ten years ago. Still use my 4x5 view camera at times, love black and white photography. In 1975 I was one of 18 photographers to attend an Ansel Adams photographic work shop, Yosemite National Park, California. A wonderful experience. Turned to stock photography and was with four stock photo agencies, two in the United States and two in Europe. Down to two agencies due to the cost of converting film to digitals. Digital photography knocked out two of the agencies I was with.
