I like this one a lot. Simple and effective.
I wish the water were larger, but that was out of your control.

Oops, I said sunset in my comments while voting. Still, I love the centre composition and the gorgeous light. Congratulations!

Nope, no extension tubes. I do have a 250D close up filter but won't use it until later in the month.
I'm actually not that close to the plant, maybe 18-24" away. You might be thinking it's a tea plant? This ti plant has long, broad leaves.

The light is from the morning sun, shining through canopy of tall trees. It created small "spot lights" on the plant.

Really cool effect with the depth of field on this one. It almost looks as though the flower petals were a separate photo and the stamens bursting forth like a firework.
