    Nice placement and beautiful colors. I wish that one leaf at 5:00 was absent. On my laptop I am seeing a branch extending into the frame from the upper left corner. I like the color and texture of the lily pad in the FG.

    Roman,

    This is simply astounding! How do you get the background leaf dark and the flowers so (relatively) bright? Is this a focusing effect of the flash, or post processing, or both?

    Sorry Roger for the late reply......at f32 I am underexposing the ambient light........so light falloff is quick. The flashed really make the water lilly pop......and I give the final punch in PP'ing.....but that is the least amount of work on the image

    Hi Roman. You do very well with these lilies! Very nice light on the flower, great detail on the flower and leaf, the black background works well, and I like the off-center comp. A beautiful image!

    This is just awesome, Roman. The colors are so rich and vibrant, it almost looks like an fine illustration. Black BG really makes it pop, love the whole composition!
