Taken at a pond in my university's campus. I took four flowers and placed them on top of the floating leaves.

Applied blur to a second layer and reduced the opacity for a soft focus look.

Lighting: It was taken around 11pm, so I used a 4 second exposure and a flashlight from the top directed at each flower for 1 second.

This is my first flower photo by the way, lol...

Very pretty. Nice lighting and nice touch with the soft focus. They look like they are in spotlights. Possibly reminicient of Fantasia

magical lighting, wonderful and appropriate soft focus. Although I see the reflections and know it is water - is feels like these flowers are floating in the night intself. Lovely golden and rosy yellows.

Beautiful colour. Soft focusing really creates a nice still/calm effect.

Interesting idea. The colors, contrst and negative space are good. But the photo looks over processed.
