African Water Lily (Nymphaea caerulea) - Natures call to the insect kingdom.
I might get hammered for the "noise" however the water is actually that murky (particles). These flowers don't grow in swimming pools...image was shot during a private bush walk in the Kruger National Park, South Africa surrounded by the Big 5...no time for tripods, a better angle or fancy footwork when you have WILD Lions and other hungry carnivores in the 'hood. Hand held with an armed Ranger covering my back...

Beautiful flower with lovely colors!
As a minor nitpick I think you could have cropped off a little more from the top. Ideally, to make it symmetric with the space left in the bottom of the photograph
