"Waterlilly"

Beautiful colours and composition Juergen. I might be tempted to crop a little of the left - but fabulous work. Congratulations.

Thanks Seven, usually I crop as much as possible. In this case I have been trying and found that the dark background helps the flower to stand out better.

Nice rendition! Everything about the flower is clear. I haven't seen this species in Canada or China. Beautifully done!

Not only does the dark bgrd help the flower to stand out, but so does the dof. The flower petals are really crisp and sharp. That soft orange in the white is beautiful. The angle is pleasing and the water pool in the large leaf adds further interest at another level. The pointing direction of the water mimics the same shape/direction as the petals. A superb flower shot.

Beautiful colours, excellent exposure.

Flawless

good choice of dof. I agree with a little crop on the left
