Tip #2 Use a low angle to to make the most of reflective surfaces such as water.  Tip #3 Zoom in. Use your lens in telephoto to shorten depth of field and to compress distant objects.  Tip #4 use a wide aperture (f/3.5 here) to isolate the object you want primary emphasis on.  Tip #5 Set your exposure to make the water go a deep black to make the flowers pop.  Tip #6 Use fill flash to make the flower stand out even when the sun is out-use the sun as fill.  Tip # 7 Use a reflector. Here I used a gold reflector to bounce light from my on camera flash in bounce mode, aiming the reflector to light inside the flower.
