this is wonderful, I love waterlilles, and you have captured them well. The sunlight on the leaves, even though abit over-exposed on the flowers IMO it is still just a fantastic comp, angle, and mood.

CC Hello pclong

Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition-Nicely done
Background-n/a
My Opinion-This is a love shot of water lilies. I think the fact that you got down _low_ really added to the impact. The composition, focus and color are very nice. My only negative observation is that there is some over exposure. This of course is a factor for all digital photographers. LIGHT. Either too little or too much. No, doubt this is a good shot. I'd think it would make a good print, it's got a lot of appeal.

I adore the perspective on this field of flowers (water lilies?), but as my eyes are lead to the top of the picture, I find there is no "focal point" to the composition..not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but I'm just not sure which part of the whole should be the main point of interest. I enjoy the DOF though, I like that the back flowers are in focus, and the lighting creates the feel that the flowers are "endless" as they fade off into the darkness.

Beautiful shot. I'm one of the people around here who complain about all the flower shots, but I won't complain about this one!

Very pretty! I like this one a lot! I'd like to see a shot of the flower close up with the pads in the background! Great job!

Stricking contrast. It might look better if you crop the bottom half of the picture out. Try it.
