A first rate shot with great attention to the factors that make a great photograph.

Beautiful work - exceptional detail, control, mood. To get into a travel guide I would have expected a flora shot to have an exceptional quality, something in the use of detail to give an impression of a wider, larger, state, andi think this has it; it suggests, largely by the darkness of background, a tree-shaded water garden. Top shot.

nice picture. I love the waxiness of the lily-pads.

I seriously hoped this challenge will be one without flower shots. Is this really the biggest attraction in your area? It's a fine picture, but I don't think many travel guides show you pictures of flowers.

Great pic but unfortunately this could have been anywhere, any pond. The picture does not convey a sense of place.
