2015 Waterlily Celebration Contest

 2015 Waterlily Celebration Contest

Mckee Botanical Garden in Vero Beach, Florida.  has been hosting the Waterlily Celebration annually for the past 11 years. This is the third year for their annual waterlily photo contest held in conjunction with the annual Waterlily Celebration .

There are 3 categories for the contest: color, black & white and manipulated. They also have a youth contest for those 17 years and younger with the same categories. All submissions have to be of waterlilies photographed at Mckee.

The photo below was taken at the contest, as you can see it has the second place ribbon.

2015 Waterlily Celebration 2nd-place

Photographers from all over come to Mckee Botanical Garden to photograph their waterlilies. They have the largest collection in the state of Florida, with over 100 varieties and 350 individual plants.

I was very surprised at winning the 2nd place in the “color” category at the 2015 Waterlily Celebration Contest for two reasons.

1. There were so many beautiful photos there it would have been very hard for me to determine a winner.

2. This was my first photo contest.

Below is a large view of the photo submitted. “Waterlily Reflections”
