Treasures on a lily pad

This photo always makes me smile, as it reminds me of a conversation I had with a photographer (with a large lens, lol!) at the Calgary Zoo on September 20th. When I was photographing this pretty little scene, he was telling me that some photographers will deliberately pick a flower off one of the tropical plants and put it on or near the lily pads in the small pond in there. Funny, it had never ever gone through my mind to do such a thing! I'd feel too guilty to pick a flower in the first place! Of course, some little children do this too, no doubt. I would always know that my image was "fake" if I did that - you can so often tell when a photographer has "arranged" something themselves, I think : ) Of course, sometimes they will say that's what they did.
