I love waterlilies with their delicate petals, especially the white ones.
The presentation with superb details that are beautifully reflecting in the water; and so nicely framed with the black water is very pleasing presentation.

A peaceful scene. Cool! The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of this flower in the water is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and very eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and awesome work overall.

a very good capture of this victoria amazonica with sharp focus and good control of exposure for the white petals;
about 50 years ago, I visited Brazil and have seen these flowers in the Amazon area;

This is a stunning photo you have taken. The elegance of the flower and it's reflection in the still water makes for a very peaceful and serine composition. Color appears natural, and the photo is crisp and clear. very well done.

Comment from alaskapat
Mary, this is just lovely, it's such an elegant white water Lily , it's a perfect placement within this frame, the reflection gives us a double view, this is of course, well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, I see nice detail on the white petals, the dark background is working excellently to showcase the white bloom. Well composed and presented! This deserves six stars, sadly I am out!
