    Chris,

    Nice shot. definitely like that you didn't center the lily. too bad the water didn't stay still for a second for a sharp reflection

    I think the shot could have been better if the lily was in full bloom, or if you just isolated the lily with a telephoto lens. Could just be me though, for some reason I like isolated flower photos, heh.

    The color of the blossom and stem are good but I wish the water were bluer and the lily pads were greener.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Really nice. I might try MB's suggestion, but I do like how the water as is kind of hints at a monochromatic feel. There's something very serene about it.

    Great catch.

    Good idea and well realized. Decentralization of the beautiful flower ceh gives space to the right. Beautiful delicate colors

    I like the pod itself, but the rest is just there. You did what you could - exposed for the subject. It has a simplistic feeling.
