Your framing makes the reflection dominate.  "Water" might be a better title.

it's very nice, but I wish it wasn't cropped so tightly at the top.

I like it, but I also wish it weren't quite so tightly cropped at the top. I also don't understand the double reflection.

appealing, but seems to be cut short on top...

I'd like to see 80-90% of the top cropped off.

Thanks, everyone! I love it as it, of course, but when 100% of the responses say 'the top is wrong' I am gonna have to accept that the top is wrong ;)

Interesting idea, Ed! It's supposed to be about the reflection, and maybe that's the way to go. Hmm.

The reflection is much more interesting to me and the more I think about it, I'd like to see all of the top go away. The brightness of the flower keeps drawing my attention away from the reflection.

~50%. Quite striking, however.
