Beautiful shot! I love water lilies. I might crop a little from the right, or tone down the brighter pink triangle on the far right.

Michael,

Beautiful! Sharp and detailed where it needs to be and soft and subtle around the edges. This is simple and beautiful.

I'm late, as usual, but, man, no doubt in my mind why this is a pick. It is the bright ring around the flower's center. It makes me see the shapes created by the tops of the petals and the stamens (?). Belated congratulations on and Editor's Pick.
