Lotus Leaf, Japan
Photograph by Chinagarn Kunacheva, My Shot
This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Photos
I saw this lovely lotus inside the Kyoto Botanical Garden. The fallen petal was on the leaf, giving the contrast of color.

What Makes This a Photo of the Day? I love found situations like these, in which the elements of the photograph exist in their own perfect, natural composition. This aspect of the photo, along with the sharp details of the water droplet and bug, made it a clear choice. —Alexa Keefe, Photo of the Day editor
