What a great photo, I usually can't get a nice reflection with the water lilies where I go. It does look like a lovely painting. Congrats on a well deserved first place win!

Thank you so much for this complimentary review. I was just lucky with the timing of the sun where it was gentle and just enough to capture the reflections. Appreciate the six. This really made my day.

Truly beautiful and so well presented.
The reflection on the still water are showing every detail and the colors are spectacular- why I never fond these in the nature? You are lucky to capture this special photo; and best of luck in the contest voting. Sorry I am out of sixes.

Lucky you Nieves to come across such a stunning waterlily! Love the bright pink color of this! I'm so glad the water was calm this day because you captured a gorgeous view of the lily's reflection. Love both the lighting and focus. I think it's a great entry for the reflection contest! Good Luck! :o) Nancy

This shot of the waterlily and its reflection is a visual treat. Your framing draws the eye beautifully, and the play of light and shadows, combined with the rich colours, makes it truly captivating. Well done! here is my six for you. Good luck!
