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....
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
