I love gladiolas...among my favorite flowers...for their many colors...scent...height...
1st pic for the truest colors...2nd pic for the shadowy affect showing the detailed greenery...3rd pic for capturing the shadows of the objects; and giving the truest color of the stems in the water; and perhaps, even the diminishing water line.
Thanks for sharing the flowers to brighten the 'day'! Great way to end the Sabbath...
Best regards on your travels...safe journey!
Peace.
