Nice capture. The angle of the shot of this flower and pads is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

This nature shot of the lily bloom 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! Regretfully, I have run out of my sixes, which this post richly deserves. Good luck!

This is a beautiful photograph of a blooming water Lily. The focus is so sharp and clear that the petals and stamens stand out in great detail. A truly beautiful capture, good luck.

Nice one soulfeeder. The colours are rich and vivid and the focus is perfect from the center to the petals. It has impact and I could quite easily see this hanging on a wall.

Comment from ABG Photography
This is a beautiful image of the flower. However, it seems to be lacking a little from exposure. I think it would serve it well to increase it to brighten the flower. Otherwise, it is superbly taken with nice sharp focus, perfect framing of subject matter, and a well placed focal point.

HI Nieves, You caught this waterlily just right! Love not only the focus and lighting but the water droplets as well! I even like the slight tilt of the flower. Very pretty and a joy to view! Good luck in the Contest!
