I agree that the colors of this flower are beautiful. You captured lovely sharp detail of all the elements inside the frame. The background color is also very attractive.

I think that this photo would make a beautiful Spring or Easter greeting card. I like the harmony of the soft colors. The green background emphasizes the Lotus well. I like your POV. The little bee at the center is intriguing and draws the eyes of the viewer. The photo is well composed, balanced and framed.

An elegant composition with beautiful colors. It looks like that might be a hoverfly adorning the lotus. A great view of the flower. Best wishes in the contest.

Very nice image of the lotus center. You have captured the colors well. It feels a bit bright on my monitor. This is a favorite flower of mine to shoot. The green in the back sets it off well. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice image. The pastel colors of the petals are nicely rendered and act as a good backdrop and framing element for the central portion of the flower. The visiting fly is a nice added bit of interest.

Great entry for the contest and I wish you all the best in the judging ~ Steve

This is a wonderful close-up shot of the lotus with a fly sitting on it gorging the nectar!. You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!
