Great composition and perspective. I also like the bee - a nice bonus! Great color on the fower. Very nice shot, Momo.

Very pretty - what's it called? I love the glow from within feel.

Momo - very nice water lily shot. I am assuming it is a tropical - I am assuming that the flower was several inches above the surface of the water. The bee really adds to the already nice image.

Great depth of field! A good reason to hold onto a good compact camera!

Thanks for all the comments. The flower was above the water (on a 4-6 inch stem). I do not know what species it is, but I think it is a type of a Water Lily. Yeah, the compacts have a great depth of field. This was shot at f6.
