Lens used was 70-200 mm L F4 @ 200 mm i think.

what lens?

Thanks for your comments.

It's not a background, it's actually water, just dark. Funny how people don't see it's in water -- where else do you find waterlillies? The purple ones are especially rare....

The flower is nice but the background in the upper left corner is distracting...

focus and clarity on the flower is really nice. but Is it in water? it's hard to tell. there is a texture of the background, however, i can't tell if it's in the water, or if there is something else. The background isn't distracting or anything. colors are nice. ~Heather~

The background here is weird. Those ripples in the upper left corner are distracting. I think a wider shot with more water might have made the shot less confusing, and more effective.

Not only a beautiful flower, but a great job isolating it in the background. Hope to see more details about it later.

Beautiful. There are a lot of Macro shots of flowers (not suprising, given the subject) so it will take a really breathtaking image to steal the show. This is one of the closest I have seen so far.

Very pretty colours. Looks slightly soft, but nice nevertheless.

Wonderful composition. I like the soft waves. Colors and focus are spot on.

The composition and lighting are great! Super choice for the challenge! Your framing and angle of the flower is breathetaking, coupled with the softness of the ripples in the water. A solid 9 from me!!! Great job!

Very fine job of capturing this beauty. Almost looks electric. Nice contrast, and color saturation.

Beautiful, great shot

It's not easy to capture blues in a water lily. Good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/22/2003 08:34:47 AM
Those colors are awesome! I like the ripple effect in the upper top corner. The main subject is a little too centered though. The softness comes through very well, well done.

Excellent focus and good colours

Oooooh. Now here's an example of an excellent flower shot. I think I recognize this photographer's style. High marks for clarity, color usage, and background desaturation.

What a beautiful flower. Don't care for the ripples in the upper left, 7.

The color and softness of this shot is excellent... compositionally, I would like to se the flower a little less centered, but still a 10 :) - setzler
