I'm a sucker for water lilies and you've handled the whites here wonderfully! I'd be tempted to try to find a ittle more detail in the yellows.

I wonder about a slight gradient burn at the bottom to balance the weight of the lily pads, but just gorgeous in any case!

Love the mood created by this soft lighting! Excellent sharpness and DOF and the water drops are a big plus. Very nicely done!

[Jonathan Ashton]

The image has a 3D look about it, I like the DOF - just right and the rain drops really compliment the flower.

Thanks for looking, all the comments appreciated. Ben

The cloudy, rainy day served you well. Beautifully crisp and smooth capture of this flower. Gorgeous detail. The raindrops and the yellow center gleam! You could brighten it up a bit, but that is a matter of preference.
