    Default Water Lily

    I was shooting these lilies with a circular polarize, and varied the amount. This is little to no polarization, to get the blue reflection in the water, rather than the black look.

    With all the damage to the lily pads, do you think it's worth cleaning up more of those spots? I already touched up the lighter spots that were more distracting.

    Bruce,
    The comp and soft light are really nice, and the flower itself looks really prime. The damaged spots on the pads are a problem. Are they less noticable in one of your more-polarized shots? If so, a blend of the two frames might help, with less work than cloning.

    Good idea, Chris! The lily really is nice and you did a great job on DOF here. I'd try Chris' suggestion or do the cloning...it will make it that much stronger.

    Hey Bruce, another nice image and would agree to clean up the spots.
