Lotus 莲

[shgfun]

Got few shots of lotus flowers, I guess not the right season/timing, leaves are not green at all. Anyone knows best month for shooting lotus flower in SG?

hmm yeah i dint know there's a season for greener lotus leaves..
but IMHO i think ur photos are underexposed which brings out the nice saturated colors of the lotus but makes the leaves dark green..

Friend,
I like the contrast, good bukeh, and very very sharp. What lens is that?

slaam, I don't quite agree on the underexpose reason. If you look at the leaves especially the few around the lotus flower, you could see that they are withered and displaying some dark brownish color.

Hi you were talking about bokeh, so I suppose you were asking about the first few lotus flower shots. They were taken from 70-200mm f/4.
