Rework
Critique Style Requested: Standard
The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Sometimes it’s the simple things that captivate us—this lily’s white petals and the tranquility they exude is a perfect example.
Any feedback welcome.

Nice choice for depth of field, Saundie. I like the way you framed it against the junction of the two lily pads. Well done.
This is pretty neat - I don’t often see one in this state, they’re usually more blowsy and lower to the water. The semi-symmetry works well as does the framing. The greens seem a tad muddy to me and maybe could use a bit of separation and/or luminosity lift. I will sometimes take the yellow slider one way and the green in another to achieve the separation. Luminosity is more straightforward.
Thanks for the feedback! Will take a look at those muddy greens Kris, thanks.
