Beautiful flower, beautifully composed and exposed shot.

Nice shot. Not sure whether the uneven lighting helps or hurts it. The light spots are not too blown out, and the picture works.

Beautiful detail in the petals, nice composition. I like the way the white pops out of the black background.

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments not. Beautiful floral shot! Love the crisp whites and buttery yellow of this lotus flower. You captured some nice details too, with the lined texture I see on the outer petals. The dark water really helps to set off the brilliant white of the flower quite nicely such that it pops off the page.

Beautiful! It looks like a waterlily to me, though...

Great sharpness, well framed.

Nice use of lighting on the flower, composition is okay.

Nicely composed. Would almost like a little more light on the left side of the flower.

one of the better lotus images, love the hint of lily pad in the darker areas, adds a lot to the image

Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.

Nice. Effective and simple. Really like the dark water and the contrast in the white flower. Excellent use of DOF while still retaining sharpness in the photo. Very well done.

Beautiful colour and light, that's a gorgeous flower.
Post actions
nice but this is not very good angle to take macros of blossoms or maybe then just zoom it to the midlle...
Post actions
Pefrect focus, color, lighting and placement. Beautiful capture!

Super sharp! One of the best floral shots in the challenge.

A classic shot done well. Nice DOF on this - it could have easily been too shallow.

excellent contrast, well composed. 7

oooo this is nice, IMO a little more saturation in the yellow might have made it pop a little more but either way very nice photo, well done.

About as Zen as a lotus can be. Nice contrast in shapes and tones.
Post actions
Tranquil shot. Needs some of the space to the right cropped out perhaps.

Really nice capture, great composition.

Wonderful detailed photo of a beautiful flower. Nice light!

this is one that you could have pulled in just a little tighter to the flower to fill the frame...but still an excellent shot

nice contrasting colors: yellow / white / black

Good framing and details in the white flower.

Well captured, good contrast, good composition.. good work!

I really like the clarity of the white on this and the detail. Also, the composition is very well balanced between the flower and the green lily pad (?).
Post actions
Very pretty. Nice and sharp. It might be my monitor, but the lily pad is a little dark-- nope, nevermind, it was my monitor.. Well done!
Post actions
Subtle beauty at its best.

Nice crisp focus. I find the lotus to be a very elegant flower.

I would wish for a tad more illumination on the flower. Nice shot.
Post actions
Very pretty and great detail. I think I would have made the top left all black in there but its still very nice!
Post actions
lovely light, the colours and sharpness are great
Post actions
A lotus is a lotus is a lotus.. but not in this case.. it's lovely!
