There was a very slight rain falling. Not enough to stop shooting or even cover the camera. But it was just enough to cause constant movement of the water and flowers. Luckily I had an umbrella with me that was just big enough to cover the small pool that this lily was in.

Michael, congratulations for the EP selection with this amazing image. The dark BG water gives this scene a perfect outline for the floating pads and flower. A really beautiful image overall IMO.
