Wow! I was looking at your metadata and wondering why exactly you'd want such a small iris...but then I realized how much I liked the large DOF. It really adds to this photo and puts things in context.
The focus is great and everything looks nice and sharp despite the (relatively) slow shutter speed (tripod/monopod, I assume?).
The colour is nice, not too overblown, not too grey...just perfectly realistic.
The lighting is great and really brings out the texture of the flower and the lilly pad especially.
The detail in this piece is really what I'm so blown away by.
Excellent photo overall!
