I know I may say I just love this picture all of the time but I can't help that you put out awesome pictures all of the time so I just love this picture! I love how you made this flower the main focus meanwhile everything else is in black and white!! Awesome job!

The selective color has been done well Willie. It makes the water lily stand out well. The focus and composition is good and all is technically flawless as far as I can tell.
As for my personal preference, I prefer to see water pictures in full color. No points deducted for my personal preferences.

Very nice image. I have seen, I don't know how many of these over the past few weeks, but they are all very good. This one is no exception. I love reflections, and you have caught this one well. I really like the Lilly pad colours, and shades. The flower it's self is quite virginal, in the darkness of all that is around. Your focus is great, and the contrast is brilliant. Nice. Roy :0)
