I want to thank everyone for the very kind comments! I love this picture and so many people do. Maybe someday I'll enter it to more contests and maybe sell it

Location
Atlantis the lost resort in the Bahamas, in the lobby area of the hotel.Time
Early afternoon or late morningLighting
It was natural lighting in the area of the lobby. I didn't change any lighting on it or enhance it at all.Equipment
I used my camera at the time that would have been a very old Nikon camera I don't remember the model but it was not a DSLR at all. Just a basic grey Nikon camera with a digital screen. No flash.Inspiration
The colors and the beauty of the floors in the pond area. It was in a pond that looked like lily pads with it too and other flowers of different colorsEditing
Nope. I didn't change anything, didn't adjust anything. that is how I took it when I took it. I didn't adjust anything on my camera when I took it either. That's how you see it in person too. I just did a macro shot of it and no cropping eitherIn my camera bag
Now I normally have my Nikon D60 DSLR, and I have the lens with it 15mm-55mm and I also have my camera charger and extra battery. and the extra lens 55mm-200mm lens.Feedback
My motto on digital photography is don't adjust a picture don't edit it (unless cropping) take it how it is how you see it. Because I do usually only nature and landscape I don't like changing it. It makes it more beautiful and not fake. It makes it real and all natural in a sense. Play around with your camera that is what makes you figure out what works but don't edit it because to me that's fake photography not the real scene that you see, especially because I do landscape, nature. I will say sometimes the only thing I do adjust if I adjust anything at all is just the color boost to make the picture pop a little more but otherwise I do not adjust anything or edit it because I think that takes away from what you really see and what viewers see. By editing it, it changes what is actually real. So when someone goes to see that spot it could not be what they expect because the picture is edited. Hence natural photography and none or very minimal editing to portray what is real to what is fake real.
