If you can catch this scene on a bright sunny day that could be wonderful.

great result!
I prefer the second version, greens of the leaves are more attractive
I found the bottom black border of the frame too big, but this is subjective

hi, do you have interesting in chinese inscription? I try to translate for you .It's very difficult to me because this poety is wrote before 1000 years.

It comes from a chinese ancient poetry.

A Tale of Lotus Lover

There are too many lovely flowers in the world.
Tao Yuanming in Jin Dynasty loved chrysanthemum only.
People have been interested in peony since Tang Dynasty.
But I do like lotus that is clean even growing in the muddy pond.
It is so pure, delicate and bright.
The lotus is consistent, continuous and coherent deep inside.
It appears to be straight, proper and honest.
It gives a fantastically good smell and people could even sense its excellent smell far away.
It has no unnecessary branches.
It can be only appreciated distantly but not touched blasphemously.
I am convinced that the chrysanthemum is a recluse while the peony is a rich and the lotus is undoubtedly the sovereign.
We seldom find someone loves chrysanthemum like Tao.
Who show the enthusiasm in the lotus in the same way as I do?
Then who likes peony? Almost everybody!

author:Zhou Dunyi (1017 –1073), styled Mao Shu, assumedly named Mr. Lian Xi, native of Yingdao, Dao Prefecture (Dao County, Hunan Province), a renowned ideologist and the founder of Idealist Philosophy (a Confucian school founded in Song and Ming dynasties). He was once appointed Military Manager in Nan’an. During his term, he was honest and upright and deeply respected by local people. In his late years, he lived in Lotus Cave on Lushan Mountain and set up Lianxi Academy where he gave lectures and planted lotus. His masterpiece is A Tale of Lotus Lover.


block part is the Chinese inscription in image.
