No. That's not mine. But the picture shows that the image is not that hard to duplicate. I would like to state for my part that I have never seen this or any similar image before I took my own. I guess (ahem..) great minds think alike.
I'd say that Mr. Aisenstein's photo could have been improved upon if he hadn't cut the bottom part of the flower off. the photo also looks a little unsharp but that might just be the posting.
And while the two photographs seem remarkable in their similarities, being similar views of the same type of flower at the same stage of development, I'd say mine has the better composition and quality of light.
The latter is perhaps a result of a higher angle of view which caused more light to reflect off the water. This lightened the background tones revealing the silky smooth water upon which the flower floats. Indeed, it was the quality of the light even more than the flower itself which drew my eye to this scene.

On seeing the thumbnail I thought, 'not another water lily!' I've seen so many, and done a few myself.
But after opening it, the clarity and color are so fine I can see why it was selected as an EC. Mighty fine!

It simply amazes me that you could find such elegance and simplicity without other things barging in on this beautiful creation.
Awesome!

Hey hey hey!
EC! Way to go, man! This is excellent, I love the detail and the subtlety of the leaves above and below the water. With the grey water it doesn't almost seem real looking at the thumbnail. Large proportions of coolness.

Fantastic! From the thumbnail I assumed the flower was cut and resting on a backdrop or a reflector... Obviously I was wrong. ;-)

WOW! An amazing shot! I really like it for its simplicity yet complex texture. It's terrific that you had no random reflections to mar the water.
