This is a close-up, eye-level shot of a small, single yellow aquatic flower bud rising on a slender stem from calm water. The partially closed, conical bud reveals bright yellow petals encased at the base by smooth, reddish-brown sepals. The stem and flower cast clear, slightly soft reflections on the water's surface. The background is heavily out of focus, creating a dreamy bokeh effect with multiple layers of soft green tones. Indistinct green shapes of blurred lily pads float on the water's surface in the mid-ground. Beyond these, the background fades into deeper greens and olives with hints of brown, suggesting vegetation or foliage at varying distances. The top portion of the background is darker, transitioning from deep green to a brighter, more illuminated green towards the centre, creating a natural gradient. The extensive blur emphasises the sharp focus on the yellow flower, making it the only clear feature in an otherwise soft, atmospheric aquatic scene.
