Maui, Hawaii
Looking into the lily was like looking into another world — a world only a bee could see. There is something about capturing a thing so intricate and small, and enlarging it to something so grand. It’s the power of photography. Always-changing Hawai’ian water lily colors are really mesmerizing. The powerful purple and delicate yellow combine to make this flower a masterpiece. I used a special macro lens to capture the intricate details and set the aperture at f/11 to throw the background flowers out of focus. All the elements combined to showcase the flower’s beauty. A world within a world.

Ava ★★★★★

The macro detail on the lily is unreal—you can see every tiny filament like you’re hovering right there with the bee. It’s the kind of print that makes you stop and stare a little longer each time you walk past it.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

I’ve never seen a flower photo that makes you feel this small and this close at the same time — the detail on each petal is unreal. It’s like holding a magnifying glass to the whole of Maui, and the print looks even better on my wall than it did on screen.

Samuel W. ★★★★★

The bee’s-eye view of this lily is just stunning; the detail in the petals feels almost surreal when blown up that large. I keep going back to it, and the soft mauve tones make it feel more like a dream than a photo.
