Took a few shots of waterlilies this afternoon which was very bright, sunny and hot, hence the generally high shutter speeds:

I like the tone of those closeup shots... Strange... the blue/red waterlilies color do not turn out <strange>

BTW, they are nice shots, especially #2, the lighting shines onto the flower to make it glow. #4 nice too

Good work!
