A white Lotus flower. Please be honest I can take it!

i think this shot would be more effective if you had exploited the beautiful symmetry of the flower more, instead of the asymmetrical framing/crop that you have now. the green background at the right is also distracting. i would suggest going closer, shooting more from the top to capture the central details of the flower (which also eliminates the distracting green background). capturing some dew droplets on the petals would also be a bonus.

Good idea thanks!

Take note though, shooting from top may cause the shadow of you to be in the pic and also bring down the exposure time of the shot.
