This is just gorgeous! The flowers are outstanding and I love the backgroud. The striped leaves add a lot of interest. Focus and composition is great.

Oh My Goodness Cindy! I love this! Love how you captured two pink waterlilies side by side! The soft pink hue is gorgeous! Focus is wonderful/ I might have made the image a little darker, but that's just me! From the background to the lilies themselves You created one nice image! I enjoyed! Good luck in the Contest! :o) Nancy

Cindy, I must say this is bright, colorful and perfectly focused capture of the Water Lilies. The contrasts shine through. A wonderful specimen for the contest. Ray

Such a lovely entry to this Flower Contest. Just the scene per se is already beautiful. I love the prominent and well defined petals and its natural colors. I also like the smooth textures of the lily pads. A joy to view, Cindy.
