Hi Master Nicole!
The details on the flower, yellow tones and leaves are outstanding. And the reflection on the water also fills a naive detail to this beautiful contrasting image.
Very well presented.
Warm Hugs.

Wow great capture Nicole. I have tried many times at work to capture this colour Water Lily and I can never get the white balance just right. It always comes out slightly grey. Well done. Now I know it can be done so I will have to try again!

Just a suggestion, this is a water lily, and not a Sea Anemone, Sea amemone are under water creatures like flowers
