Your capture is breathtaking. The colors of the flower are gorgeous. Your photo is perfect focused and exposed and has intriguing depth. I am impressed by your use of the natural light and the sharpness of detail. The shallow background emphasizes the Lotus remarkably. The flower is expertly placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A good looking image presented here! Your fine and off-centre composition allows us an enjoyable view of that lovely bloom. Like the gentle colours and tones. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well taken!

Beautiful sharp capture so nicely lit of this lotus flower. The colors are exquisite and your shallow depth of field creates such a pleasing balance of tones. The cupped petals are striking. Thanks for the notes.

Gorgeous capture Mary! Superb shooting in the flat light. Your focus is sharp do beauty in color and details. White balance is spot on ;)
I would only have been tempted to clone out the blurred bud on the right.
Really nice work behind your lens :)

Hey Mary!
What a beautiful photo of this pink lotus you have captured and presented. The angle and framing of the photo are perfect. I like that you have offset the flower in the left side of the frame. The lighting and focus are great and allow those background greens to be a nice backdrop. Well done, it is a pleasant photo!

Wow Mary! This is absolutely gorgeous and you have photographed it with perfection ! This lotus flower is perfectly placed within the frame, focus is spot on , exposure is perfect, the colors and tones are so beautiful and they appear natural. I see good detail in every part of this flower I love the seed head in the center. The flower is standing out so well from the greenery in background . This is beautiful work Mary! Again, this deserves a six and I am out!
