About the Image(s)
This "Pink lotus flower (Nelumbo nucifera) 119," also known as the "Padma" in Bangladesh" was shot at the "ASTRAS" farmhouse in Bangladesh on 27th February 2025 in Bangladesh; I visited my regular destination at Pabna and took this opportunity to shoot the flowers in the amazing gardens. The entire garden was filled with colorful flowers, including Lotus, dahlias, and petunias.
I used my Samsung S 23 camera for the images (It was early morning, and I shot handheld). With no flash, I captured the image. I used the Windows Photo Editor for editing and post-processing (to crop, discard & slight light corrections) on the original image before submission.
I hope you enjoy the image and kindly give me your feedback on it.

A beautiful image of the lotus, Kamal. On a quick review, I see some cropping but I feel that you should have cropped more removing the brown leaf on the left and the "R" stem forward of that leaf. I also might consider cropping tight to include the flower and the tall bud. Its one of the most difficult job's to remove the unnecessary parts of a busy composition. Posted: 10/10/2026 15:27:05
