Beautifull! The lotus flower is one of the prettiest flowers. Great composition, excellent focus with great light, good colour clarity and depth. Excellent camera work, well done and good luck!

I do not know if I have ever seen the yellow seed head until now. The pedals reveal the surprise. Your image is well presented with crisp clarity and detail.

The lighting and the colour harmony are perfect. The initial impact is very beautiful. The focus and DOF are spot on. This is a very beautiful image. Good luck in the competition.

This is beautiful. The design of this flower seems so simple as opposed to fussy. and ornate. Gorgeous colour tones...the yellow centre is really striking..reminds me of a shower head...a very pretty one that is..excellent choice for the contest. Good Luck with that.

A beautifully cropped and presented image. Excellent details in the yellow seed head as well as the petals. Brilliant saturated colors should take this one far in the contest. Best of luck.
