Beautiful capture of this water lily. I love the way you captured the color in the lily and the reflection. Nice lighting. Your focus looks sharp. Nice darking of the background to make the lily stand out. Well done.

I love water lilies and this is no exception. You have captured it brilliantly here, it purple crown of petals beautifully reflected in the water. Great shot!

This is pretty and I like the reflection. the lighting is great and the focus is on point. I wish i could see it from the inside though. But good job.

So very beautiful, and truly the water reflection is superb. Love the purple tones of the flower and reflection. It is such an exquisite lighting. Great clarity and good focus, and the full frame presentation is exceptional. Thanks for sharing such a beauty.
