I like the bushes, I think it nice acts as a backdrop to focus one's attention to the main subject which are the 2 lily pads plus It creates a nice refection on the water.
Very fresh !.. but probably u cud have tried going a bit around the lilypads, and avoid the bushes in the backdrop.. they kind of disturb the balance of what wud otherwise be a fantastic pic !!
Great effort u put in there, Jessie !!
