Nothing to beat the delicate white charm of this beautiful morning fresh white lily in the pond. You clicked it perfectly and also, when sun rays are gentle. You kept the background black so as to allow the white lily to dominate!! Kudos and best wishes for the contest

What a beautiful white water lily you captured it's absolutely stunning. I've painted a water lily when I first started with acrylics a few years back and it's one of my favorite acrylic pieces. I have so love these flowers they are so exquisite. Outstanding photography my friend thank you so much for sharing you're beautiful work. Good luck in the contest and have a wonderful weekend

This Water Lily is gorgeous. The white petals and the yellow center seem to glow on the dark background. The water drops glister like little diamonds. The shadows at the petals are interesting. Your photo is perfect focused and exposed and has good depth. I enjoy the sha5rpness of detail and the realism of light and color. The Water Lily is excellent placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

I kept my last six* for a very special and outstanding entry and you got it!
the close up capture of this water lily is wonderful with such sharp details and perfect exposure for the white "color";

A very nice message as it is really coming from the soul - a beautiful choice of this white flower with a super gold yellow center as white stands for purity in the darkness and yellow gold is the inner divine soul wisdom - so it is a really spiritual message for this weekend and this was a great idea to place it today so people can integrate the energy of love and light
your presentation is perfect with a great frame choice, a super angle and position, a perfect sharpness and excellent contrast.
a nice idea,have a blessed weekend as well

Simple and Elegant. I think those are the only words necessary to review this wonderful shot. I could go on for paragraphs about the high degree of detail. The stark attention grabbing contrast and the fine application of only three colors - marvelous. But what really floats my boat is the dew drops - that aspect, that little extra something does so much for a flower shot.

Oh my goodness! This is truly a gorgeous water lily and you have photographed it with perfection.
I love the placement of the flower within the frame, this allows such a good look at the shape and structure of the lily, the light is falling on this flower in such a lovely way.
This is of course perfectly focused, this image is sharp and clear, your exposure is perfect, the white petals are enhanced by the drops of water, the drops bring such a sense of freshness!
I love the golden center and the way the petals cradle it.
Well composed and presented! It's a beautiful entry for the contest! Worthy of a six , I'm sorry I don't have one!
Very best wishes to you!
