It pleases me to see white balance controlled so well here.
Well deserved win!
Your focus, exposure, white balance as well as placement within the frame are all working here.
Fine work and Congratulations on the win :)

First of all a big congratulation for winning this contest. From what I am seeing it was well deserved for this beautiful photo. I am quite busy this month, so it won't be a long review. Probably not necessary either, because everything is working. The photo is sharp, the light is wonderful, and the composition is perfect.

I love the white, which is often hard to photograph, love the water droplets on this, shows its fresh and yes they live in water, not to fond of the black as I find it kind of harsh, but it does showcase this flower

    Thanks, Lise for the great review. The black background is natural and not a digitally altered one. It is just because of the natural light.
Comment from Donna Ruiz


This is so lovely. Your light management is perfect to avoid any blowouts of the white flower. The black background is perfect to present the flower on. The drops of flower make this extra special. Good luck in the contest. It is a beautiful entry for sure.

A beautiful picture of the White Water Lily glowing out from it's dark background. Raindrops like liquid Diamonds sparkling in the light while the stamens add a splash of gold to the centre. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Stunning image, fantastic detail, perfect lighting, excellent use of dark background against the light colored subject. All of that and I am not even a huge fan of flower photos! Professional level work here, very well done!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King


Yes you do! Outstanding job of photographing such a stunning flower and doing what you did in skill to really make it stand out. Love the whites with the tints and the yellows in the flower against a dark, dark background. Would also make a wonderful painting. Best wishes in the contest.
