Though it is a rotten lotus leaf that I came across in a little pond of Hua Guang Photographic College, Quanzhou, Fujian, China, I like the colour of the remaining. To me, the different stages of lotus leaf has its attraction. Capturing the image by itself, is as colourful as the blooming flower.
To me, a visit to a lotus pond is not just to capture the beauty of the flowers.
Surprising, I discovered the opportunity of creating another colourful image after a heavy shower. The rain has apparently broken the pattern surface of the oily water and created an interesting pattern on the water. I was fortunate to find a colourful leaf floating on the pattern. The raindrops have also added interest to the entire image. The rest is up to me to compost the image in a pleasing manner. This is an image that I captured during my visit to the Ang Mo Kio West Gardens of the Town Council, locally.
The colour and the pattern of a new leaf is the main attraction of this image. The colour contrast is another element that I consider when this image was captured.
This is just simple setting that I encountered in a small pond located in the old city of Hoi An, Vietnam.
