I wanted to give this image a slight animated touch by darkening it, which further emphasizes the water on the leaves too. Hope you like.

Ann, you darkening this made this a gorgeous post. Love the water lily colour and all the detail on the leaves with the water. Wonderful

All of the leaves and petals have such richly defined edges, probably a result of the darkening. You mentioned the droplets of water on the leaves, but there is also a very "neat" drop of water on the lowest petal, as well. Your colors are rich and distinctive and the three colors in the flower is terrific.

The darkening has worked a treat on this and I like the composition, with the two arcs of the leaves leading into the flower. It's very artistic.

This turned out so well. What a keeper you've given us with this one, my friend. I love the rich color throughout.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Wow, Ann. I think it is your best so far. Excellently done. Wonderful composition and fine clear details...and yes, the darkening gave it a lovely artistic look. My compliments.
