Very nice. Very crisp detail in the petals.

Very nice, Scott. I just wish it didn't have the tree debris in the water and around the flower, not that you could have done anything about that.

By Japanese aesthetics, the picture is excellent.
In a motorcycle review I was reading just the other day, the author was attempting to relate a feeling about the roadster's design and digressed into a discussion of wabi-sabi -- the notion that impermanence, imperfection and incompleteness make something more beautiful. Examples are the asymmetry of faces, roughness or irregularity, economy and simplicity that combine to create an appreciation of objects, specially those found in nature.
Using those criteria, the slightly off-center framing of the blossom provides the asymmetry. The imperfection of the bits of debris makes the blossom petals finer by contrast and the water more glassy. We share a moment with the flower in full bloom, knowing it will soon whither and decay.
Such a color.

I'm so glad I can see this pic. For some reason this is the first of your pictures that I'm able to see on any of my Mac devices ( iPad, MacBook, or iPhone). I've been sorry to have missed them.
I agree about the debris in the water. If it weren't there it would look somehow staged. Beautiful! You have a talent. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for the comments.... I'm liking Mac's description about how the debris enhances the Lilly experience!
