14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Drifting Lilies

I was walking through a park in Blacksburg, VA that had a pond. Just as I crossed a small bridge, I noticed that some lilies had gathered, so I took this shot. My favorite part of the image is that all of the lilies are anchored by one, single red lily pad that I composed in the corner of the shot.
