Taken at lake Bled - the lake is really nice, like a kitschy postcard, with a church on an island and a castle on a cliff, took bunch of photos, but they seemed all too busy without a definite subject; I believe for this challenge it'd be better to have a more simple picture. So I found these water-lilies flowering; water-lily is always attractive, big flowers, water, round big leaves, all in nice contrast.
Edit: I used the custom shape - thirds grid, positioned and sized in a separate layer, then used crop around the shape. For the contrast I used TopazAdjust - Mild details preset, auto contrast, curves for tuning the contrast, resized, usm 250%/0.2px, border, sfw.
