Beautiful job, Susanne. You really are a trooper when it comes to getting a shot. Just like most of us, I guess. lol This one came out so well and was worth the posturing you had to assume to get in close.

Very nice shot! I really like the light and dark contrasts and the tension of the surface where the lily meets the water.

*Hugs* from Susanne, which by the way means "The White Lily" :o)

Superb! Like the dark water against the white lily~beautiful contrast. The water looks like satin with those soft ripples. Excellent capture! :)Ami

I really like the lighting and the way the yellow is gently reflected in the petals. Beautifully sharp for a handheld shot!

You have captured the lily quite well Susanne. Your photo is really stunning. The photo of you taking this shot was good as well. It gives us a lot of perspective.
