Gorgeous and definitely elegant!! The blossom stands out from the BG in 3D. I think this deserves some cleanup in the corner – just a small touch but the flower deserves all the attention.

I agree with @Diane_Miller. The composition is stellar and along with a little cleanup in the LRC and that grey bit on the lily petal on the left, this would really sing. As with all of your water shots, this one is near the top.

Repost is perfect. The lily is exposed perfectly and I like the frame-filling comp. Well done…Jim

Tied up all day yesterday, Bill, so I’m late to this. A beautiful image of this lily and the rework made a nice improvement.
