Fantastic :toast: :toast: . Nothing more to say. Reminds me of the one I made last year, just that yours is a generous 5 notches higher.

Nicely done! Center framing looks like the perfect choice for this perfect specimen. Nicely cropped. Soft light ...soft shadows...works for me. Almost has a vignette darkening at the corners. Cool! Ken S

Oh how I envy your trips to this water garden. There are only two local spots that I'm aware of and one is closed and the other has something wrong with their plants (mold spots). Love the softness of this waterlily's colors, your choice of comp and the precise dof... what a joy to view! :toast:
