Pink Lotus Flower[edit]

Nelumbo is a genus of water flowers commonly known as lotus (Hindi: कमल) and the only genus in the family Nelumbonaceae. The family consist of only a single genus, Nelumbo, of probably two species, of aquatic plants, found in North America and Asia (and perhaps some adjacent areas, but widely cultivated).

Self-nom; I think this high-res image turned out very clear, with good lighting, and a nice angle. Perhaps someone could suggest a tighter crop, but I'd love to hear some good photographer's comments. It appears in the article Nelumbo, and was taken by Wikipedian Joy Schoenberger.

Comments:

  • I'm not a big fan of all of those out of focus bright and even blown out spots. Are they reflections from the water? I wouldn't support this image because I find the reflections distracting, but it is really nice, and it might have a chance to become featured. Enuja 01:57, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
