This is beautiful, right down to the dew drops on the petals. The way the light and shadows hit it gives it a mystical feel. It's really beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.

Water lilies just do have a pristine look to them. You captured this one very well. I like the bud in front of the flower ready to burst into bloom. The background is perfect for this shot. Well done and enjoyable to view.

    Thanks for this great review, Allan. Yesterday, someone review this with a 4-rating telling me, that that bud is a leaf and is a distraction.
    Now I know, you have a good eyeglasses. lol!

This is a lovely photograph of the water lily; the center is a little out of focus I feel. I would have preferred that the brown leaf in the for ground had been removed, as it is a bit of a distraction.as it is somewhat of a distraction.

    Thanks, Michelle. It is a lotus bud. I am using a long lens with I took this picture, and it is what it is. Nature. I do not want to manipulate digitally although it could have been easy.

A very lovely visual presented here of this lily flower. Composition and background add to your subject by drawing the eye to the soft petals . Very well done.

Wow! Your camera has captured untamed beauty and grace. of the lily. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours, and composition have worked out well. Good effort!

A good looking nature image presented here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of your beautiful bloom. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely taken!
