Water Lily

Thanks very much for any comments or ratings.

Wow Carla, This is really nice. I see the lilies are out at the gardens.

Very nice. Similar to my water lily shot, but very good.

Outstanding color and composition, Carla. Superb!

the light in this is so beautiful Carla

I really like this one...delicate and serene, the flower pops nicely. Placement of the flower and it's reflection works well in your compostion. Nice work.

Beautiful shot. I like the light, the flower's color contrast, and the reflection in the water. I would not have cropped it so close at the top and bottom.

Thanks so much for all the nice comments. :)

very nice colour and reflection

Beautiful Carla, although I've seen this done quite often, I can't recall any versions as nice as this one. The only minor thing I might have preferred is just a little more space at the top and bottom.

Very nice compo !!

Very nice shot. Love the lighting, colors and composition. GREAT JOB!!!!

Very vivid color. GREAT picture.

beautyful and technically perfect.!!

what i like about this pic is the way the flower sits in relationship to the leaves and how its reflected in the water. i think pretty flower pics are a dime a dozen but i really like how you placed the flower in a space

Would this work better as a vertical?

I don't think this needs to be vertical, simply because I love the leaf on the right, and I wouldn't want to lose it. But what Ron was perhaps trying to say was that the flower and its reflection were too close to the edges of the image. Perhaps simply move back a little would have done the job. Nevertheless it's already a very nice picture, with a great flower, great light and nice colors. Regards.

A masterpiece !

Cropped a little tightly, but incredibly vibrant and nice!

Overdone shot, but this one boasts of good composition, terrific lighting and colours. Stands out.

Your flower folder is great & this shot in particular really jumps out.

Awwwwwwwwwwe!

if it were my photo, I would give it a little more headroom above the flower. I would like to see the terminus of the adjacent curving leaf. The green gradient in the pad is wonderful. Likewise for that mercurial liquid that it's floating on. Velvia was a good selection. Nice job!
