White lilies are an exception.This image is well executed, the texture of the petals and especially the water drops make it an interesting shot. Lighting is top notch. The only minor thing I'd like to change is the direction the stamen (sp?) is tilted, it gives the impression the flower is looking away from the viewer. Yes, I know I am weird. Changing composition here would not have helped, since that would have meant the elimination of the leaves, which are more important to me than the direction of the stamen, and the "uneasy to me" stamen at least creates a tension or some dynamism that made me write this long paragraph in the first place.Sorry for rant. A fine image.</blockquote>
