Very nice, at first I thought it was CGI because the lillies are so perfectly round. Like the lighting to.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.

The pads on those lilies can reach 6 feet across. Wish I had the room.

I agree with Dave above. It's the best shot of yours I've seen so far. It would be nice to see some more work some day. If you like some constructive critique on this one then I can say it's just a tad bit over exposed on some areas. It doesn't disturb that much but it could make the difference between a really great shot and a perfect capture... (The difference is small really.)

It's obviously hard to get it right in a setting with lighting over such a wide range as this one. The easiest way to make it better is to do a slight under exposure and toggle levels (and / or contrast) in the post production work. Nice one nevertheless. Cheers.

This is cool! I haven't seen many pictures of lily leaves like that, and I mostly heard few stories! This is very nice.
