Jay, this is a real beauty! The light and colors on this look great. You might want to try and tone down the bright leaf along the bottom edge.
Ken,
Thanks, here is a re-post...........
What a gorgeous water lily! Just love the center of that flower. Well captured. I like your second post, with the lower leaf toned down.
Anita,
Thank you.

Jay, I also prefer the second post. This is a real beauty! If it were my image, I do believe I'd take out the whitish yellow leaf at the back of the flower petals - it doesn't look like it belongs with all those other beautiful pink petals. Very nice lighting and exposure and toning down those brights spots made a real difference.
Julie,
Thanks. It's amazing to me, that I can stare at these photos for so long and so many times and still miss a detail like the out-of-place yellow leaf. Good catch! Will do.
Jay
Second post rocks! I really like the lavender color of this WL. There is a small white speck at 2 O'clock just off the petal with a bit of yellow on its tip. I would make that go away.
