 I called Bev earlier in the week and we made arrangements to go to Longwood Gardens. I looked up the site and found they had free scooters to use for the physically challenged and this made Bev real happy. She was able to go just about anywhere on the grounds of the garden all on her own without me holding her back. She loved it. So we got there and we went straight for the water lily display outside the conservatory. And I have never been there when they have had such a wonderful display of beauty and with a good camera with a long lense that could do macro. It was real treat for me. We are making plans to go back possibly for a display of the water fountains and fireworks. We even had a marvelous dinner. We were not their very long and stayed in the conservatory for the most part but we both had an thoroughly enjoyable time.
THANKS, BEV!!!

Post: Convert from raw in PSElements 3.0. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Spot editing included burning bit of a lily pad on the right side and a dot of another in between the top petals of the flower. Cloned or healed 3/4 bugs on the petals, some hot pixels and dark specs on the petals and a bright spot on the lily pad. Sharpen. Resize. Sharpen.

I don't see a dichotomy here - its a contrast. For a dichotomy, the elements should work against each other in some way. Nice colors and contrast. 5
