If it were mind, I might clone out the gray/green in the LLC...and I'd blur the BG just a bit...as it is, the layers of pads and water are parallel enough that it almost looks like a series of bands. A nice touch is not only the reflection of the lily in the water beneath the bloom but the reflection in the thin layer of water resting atop the pad...very cool.
