A beautiful shot captured in great lighting with super sharp clarity of this beautiful water lily, floating in the water like one of those swan pedal boats you get at the amusement park lol. The petals are well defined and contrast nicely with the greenery in the background thanks to the DOF, and the reflection in the still waters is crisp and gives a lovely depth to it. Overall a lovely shot of this very ornate flower, great work! :)

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Wow! A crystal clear mirror reflection!

Fantabulous capture with crisp & clear floral features and velvety textures.

Controlled illumination with no blown out white spots!

Sharply focused.
Ideally framed.
Well lit.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF. Thanks for sharing...

(What's that white thing?)

    Thank you! The white thing is a puffy flower seed that was floating in the water. I thought it looked nice with the flower :)

    I thought it was a fungus in the lens but quite strange because the lens is very clean! LoL!

Damn I wish I had a 6 left... I would not hesitate to use it. I'm really drawn to this image. There are so many beautiful things going on in the frame; between the flower and its reflection in the glass still water... to the Lily pads offering stunning accent color ... to the soft seed of fluffy white. This composition is very attractive and you have once again demonstrated your skill behind the lens.

A very nicely composed shot with great colors. I like the detail in the water lily and its sharp reflection on the water. Best of luck in the contest.

I really like the angle of this shot. The detail and way the light hits the petals is beautiful. I especially like the reflection in the water. I also like that the flower is off center, very creative layout. Great work!
