Hi Michele, Love the way the Lotus is framed by the leaves. You have a very nice photo here with good lighting and focus. I like the slight tilt it has. I think it gives it personality,. Very nice and a joy to view! Good Luck in the contest!

This is a beautiful composition taken at a wonderful place. I have been there myself. I like the lighting that you captured when taking this, it really helps to create the contrast and interest. The focal point is expertly placed and framing is quite nice.

The way you've captured the natural light here is stunning! The interplay of shadows and highlights creates such a rich, immersive depthâ€"it feels like I could step right into the scene. Well done! Good luck!

Comment from soulfeeder
So immaculate and dainty. I love the unfolding stage of this white lotus in the midst of the greeneries. Excellent white balance control setting and the retention of natural colors. Great framing placement and the use of vertical frame. A pleasant scene. Wish you the best in the contest, Michele.
