		| | so here is the question...do you edit out the flies/bugs to get the unmarred photo or leave it...I think....I would have cloned them out...as they just don't add to the photo...and what a wonderful shot it is...such wonderful shadows and lighting...(the little bugs didn't bring my vote down...just pondering) |

		| | I think a wider crop that doesn't cut off the edges of the petals would work even better here |

		| | Very, very nice. Water droplets, white, nice yellow. The black bugs kind-of distract, but what can you do? |

		| | I think you went in too close, Backing off a bit would have been better. which could have helped in getting a crisper focus.6 |

		| | Nice flower. I think the bugs might detract from this particular picture. Maybe a tighter crop? |

		| | Nice shot...good detail and crop.  I just noticed the fly upside down on the left.  Poor guy. |

		| | Beautiful lilly. Funny I have a imilar image and have exactly the same flys on my flower. Must be lilly flies. Good focus

		| | I like the light and I'm quite fond of water lilies.  Can't decide if the bugs should have been cloned out, though.  I keep looking at them instead of the flwoer and they're not that pretty. |

		| | Interesting point of view, and I like that the flower almost fills the frame. |

		| | Nice flower, though I do think the bugs distract a little, but that's reality for you. |

		| | This is good... sharp... but lacks some 'zip', I fear.   More something (or less bugs) to make it really sing! 
 Not voting yet.

		| | Its ok but it needs something. More focus I think and more coloring. Its kind of flat. |
