Description Some of the lotus flowers surrounding the Silver Pagoda (Wat Preah Keo Morakot), in the Royal Palace compound in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The floor of the Silver Pagoda is covered in silver tiles, each weighing over 1kg, though most of them are covered by carpet to protect them from visitors walking on them. The pagoda is also home to over 1,500 art objects including a large emerald Buddha, and a 90kg life size Buddha made of gold and decorated with over 2,000 diamonds.

I love this! I like how the flowers are in focus, making them the focal point of the photo when they might otherwise be lost in the image, and the blur also makes the pagoda behind them look almost like a painting, giving the whole scene a more artistic, almost fantasy or dream-like feel.

Sorry - I uploaded it as a small size on purpose so that it wouldn't be good resolution for anything other than viewing it online.
