I really like the darkness of the lily pads with the white waterlily, but without cropping more tightly I don't know if you can see that it was raining and see the beauty of that.

Comments and suggestions are desired and appreciated.

Thank you!

Strong composition Barbara. A very appealing image. No suggestions on my part.

Barbara:
Water lily looks great. A bright spot in gloomy weather/mood. The debris on the pads is a little distracting but there not much you can do (except serious cloning).

The water droplets work very well Barbara. The darkness of the water with the light bloom works well.

Barbara: I like this scene a lot and your comp. I kind of like the pine needles and think they are a plus element. The larger version is especially appealing. >=))>
