what a unique take on the standard lily pad photo--well done 9
Post actions
Too shallow DoF. Also the viewer is confused about where exactly to look at

Not bad, although I would like to see a wider depth of field (raising the number of your aperture and keeping the exposure the same)... 5
Post actions
Interesting shot... I like the DOF, but the colours in the shot seem dreary.
Post actions
Nothing in this really feels sharp to me, it's a cool subject though.
Post actions
Nice depth of field. The little white flowers are so delicate.
Post actions
This is great! Such an interesting colour combination
Post actions
Well captured and presented.

I can't really figure out what's going on with the colors here, but I like it a lot. The orange really jumps our and grabs me. I love how it's reflected off of the water in all kinds of little spots. The plants are fascinating just by themselves, and the shallow DOF really emphasizes the little flowers.

More blur than focus. Interesting orange where there doesn't seem to be a reason for it.
Post actions
Intersting, I wonder what the red glow is?
Post actions
Great lighting. Beautiful image.
Post actions
Very beautiful...recognizable but an abstract at the same time!
Post actions
I think a tighter crop might have worked better. jmo
Post actions
Oh, really nice. I love the orange reflections and those tiny delicate blossoms among the drak looking lilypads.
Post actions
its nice but I dont like that flat DOF
Post actions
nope this shot does not quite hit the right note with me, 4
Post actions
I like the angle of this but it is too OOF.
Post actions
Nice pond. Little bit uninspiring though. I don't really understand how this can be your best photo ever taken and hidden gem.
Post actions
nice depth of field, brings interest to the center
Post actions
Moody tones, with the surprising orange touch.
Post actions
It's a very intriguing picture, but I think the DOP is a little too shallow for my tastes. If you had to work with this DOP, you might be better off focusing on the near flowers and letting the shot fade off. The upper right corner with the orange and white draws your eyes, but there's not much for them when they get there. perhaps burn it out a bit or crop it out?
Post actions
Strange colors but beautiful white flowers.
Post actions
I like the color treatment on this. The orange and black and green work well together.

Back to comment: I'm not a huge fan of out of focus foregrounds but it works for this image. However, I do find my eye constantly drawn to the orange blob towards the upper right. It is so close to the flower that is at the rule of thirds that it keeps getting in the way of the main focal point.
Post actions
Very subtle. Lovely color. Looks like a lensbaby.
Post actions
IMO I would prefer to have the sharp focus in the lower side of this photo...it is distracting to have the blurred then clear focus then the blurred...like the colors and tones although
Post actions
This is a really interesting shot. I really love the little white flowers and how fitting your title is. Wish it was a little less blurry in spots.
Post actions
love the pov and the composition
Post actions
Good colors, especially the orange effect.
Post actions
Nice colors. Almost can't find the focus point though. Good pic.

At first I liked it, but then my eye is moving all over the place with nothing to grab hold of

Unusual lighting on the water for a lilly picture but I like it. Good detail and colors.

I like the contrasting colors in this
Post actions
I realllly need to know wha the orange is......
Post actions
Pretty... the orange really adds interest.
Post actions
Are the lily pads dead, or are they normally that colour?

Interesting choice of colors.

Good DOF, Good composition - makes me think about the shot

I like the colors here. Especially the reds. There doesn't seem to be a good focal point though.
Post actions
Love the little flowers breaking up the flat color of the lilie
Post actions
I like how the setting of the city is suggested. It's rare that you see a picture that really looks so good without a really clearly defined single subject. Nicely done.
Post actions
Ah, this makes me smile. A mini-wonderland to explore and the copper reflection adds warmth,
Post actions
I really like this one, great POV.
