Hi everybody,

Here's another nature shot for you. I was visiting a Palm House in a place called Trädgårdsforeningen downtown Göteborg.. It's a lovely place sitting along the canal, where you can find rose gardens, green houses, and so on...
In this big Palm house there were a room where one can find vegetation from the rain forest area. And seeing that i could help myself in 2 things: one was remembering Pierre's (tournesol) photo of waterlillies some time ago; and being a bit homesick. So I made a photo of one of my favorite plants in brazil: we called it Vitoria-Regia. In its natural habitat, those leaves can have more than 1m diameter and can hold a man of average 60 kg! it's incredible. And its flowes are so beautiful that even the hardest of the hearts would melt... Unfortunatelly there were no flowers, but it was a wonderful view anyway.
So I hope you appreciate as much as I did.

I'm off to Copenhagen this WE so, short week for me ;)

Have a nice weekend everybody,

Stef

Hi Stef!
I remember Pierre's picture as well! So I could stand on one of those leaves without a fear of sinking down lol...sounds comforting!
your photo is great, it's crispy sharp and the greens are lovely...beautiful reflections too. I also like the way you composed it!
have a great weekend too!
Marija:)

It is a good image Stefania. It took me awhile to get into the composition but it works. Nicely done. B

beautiful composition and reflections
i like the colors in the photo very much, very natural looking greens

crisp, fresh green, well composed, (*_*)

Beautiful flowers and extremelly well captured, Stef. I like your composition which includes the reflections of the greenhouse roof in the water so it indicates clearly to us that these were not taken in their natural habitat. Very sharp colours and great definition. My only nit-picky comment is that I think the frame is too large for your picture but that is very much a matter of personal taste. Well done!

Bonita fotografia Stef. sim ela lembra muito nossa Vitoria-Régia do Amazonas, é uma pena que esta não esteja com flor, pois seria uma grande foto. Mais do que já está. Te lembrando que a nossa em tamanho tem 3x mais do que esta.
Parabens por lembrar de nossa flora.
Pelo que vi ai, aqui se encontra estas todas
em sua fotografia. Belo
Parabens pela foto e curta bem seu final se semana.

Sergio

Lovely colors and reflection here. That is a rather amazing plant/flower. I've never seen that specific one before, thanks for sharing.

I like the contrast between geometries (round versus squared) and between colours...
well done
Paolo

Hi Stef,
Yuck....tastes wet and mildewy...so, how does the rainforest taste from the south? ;P
Anyhow, nice shot. Good close up to show the details.
Thanks for sharing.
Richard

Então também tem floresta tropical na Suécia?? Cada dia é uma lição aqui no TL ;-))
Gosto bastante da composição pela forma como os reflexos na àgua a tornam muito mais dinamica e interessante. Acho mesmo que sem esses lindos reflexos a foto não seria tão forte...
As cores estão perfeitas e já estou com calor só de olhar pra sua foto.
Muito bom trabalho.

Ana

PS: Só me resta desejar um excelente weekend para a garota da Suécia ;-) Divirta-se amiga!!

I very much like the photo, Stef.
Apart from the beautifull colours and great sharpness, I think the lines of the reflection of the roof add a lot to the intensity of the picture.
We also have a Victoris Regia in our botanical garden in Amsterdam.
Now I'm sure I have to go visit it. there.
Thanks for posting it.
Groet,
Joop.

Belle composition et belle maitrise du contraste.
Cette photo est trés graphique et les reflets donnat des lignes d'eau sont bien vus.

Hi Stef,
Cool shot and well composed and detailed. excellent work.
Have a good trip, keep safe.

Mike :)

Amazing flower! And well photographed. We get a good sense of its size with the ceiling reflecting in the pond. Good job!

This is so well captured and so sharp in details.. green is always an excellent color choice for photography. Well seen and great shot.

Good image.

Hi Stef,

Hi Steff,
very nice photo. The reflection of the greenhouse roof in the water makes it very dramatic. The colour contrast, rainforest green and black, is lovely.

Looks like a big saucer. Love the dark appearance of the water. Wish I was there too shooting pictures with you. Good work.

Hi Stefania

I like the reflected rectangular grid pattern, in the water. The tilt adds dynamism. Congratulations!

WoooooooWWWw! Whats that?! Thats BEAUTIFUL! I was concentrating on it hard.. Beautiful COmposition... It makes us wonder... AMAZING one! I love this Stef... sharp and detailed... I would have named it 'THE PERFECT ONE'. I dont care abt. the flowers looking at this :) Beautiful colors and the panes add as a compliment to this WONDERFUL One! :) Great shot! U give me ideas :D.... Thanks for sharing :)

Take care...
- Hima.

Wonderful! I have never seen these enormous water lilies and thought I had to go far away to see them! And so there are some in Goteborg, so near me! Thanks for letting me know and also a very good picture you show here!

Very good photo with very nice detail. The frame work of the skylight roof reflected on the water gives a god counter point to the subject.

Andre'
