Water lily

We used to live in a house with a pond that had water lilies. It was at this time that I found them to be good photographic subjects through most of the year, and especially in autumn when the leaves were dying off. Of course, when most people think of this plant they picture the large, beautiful flower, and I wasn't impervious to their attraction as a subject for the camera. Consequently when I came upon this one in Cannop Ponds I took a photograph. What particularly prompted my interest was the muted colours of the reflected sky and the leaves due to the position of the sun.
