White Lotus

This small flower blossomed for about 5 hours in the morning before closing again, perfect time to enjoy the aroma and photograph the beauty.
The upper two photographs are macro photography, but I had a problem with the lowest photograph. When I was over the flower to take the photograph, my image and camera was reflected over the water surface and also I was casting a shadow on the lotus. To overcome this I stood at a distance above the lotus and zoomed in on the flower.
