    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    You should be able to clone or lightly paint over it with the same color as the other petals so before you remove it, give that a try.
