This is really beautiful and my first comment didn’t do it justice. The use of the strong contrast especially in the water where there are deep blue shadows next to the sunnier areas is just stunning. When I see water lilies I always feel like I am looking at something a little magical or special but I have never seen a photograph of waterlilies that has the same feeling until now. You have captured the specialness of water lilies with your camera. And, although I have been talking about the waterlilies I think it is the little red fruits in the dappled light that are the real star of the show. If I had gone back through this challenge before rollover I would have bumped to a 10.

Nice bright colors and the red “cherries” add a lot to the overall composition.
