A wonderful shot well deserved of the all time best. Like the sky for the background, fresh look with the water drops, colorful, all focused with a sunny day look.

Comment from geva
Such a beautiful flower , with rain drops. I wonder where they come from as the weather seems to be so nice. Anyhow, rain drops and also the bit of red color make the photo interesting that has good focus, nice compositions.

Comment from eversby
lovelly image. very sharp focus and good contrast. i would of like to of seen this image from a birds eye rather than from below. it would look better with other ground features than with a sky background. i dont think the colours blend well

Beautiful flower showing extremely well against the nice blue sky. Great close up, excellent details in the petals and capturing the orange colour well.

Very nice. Impressed with the focus --- and the color is lovely... not overpushed. I like it against the blue sky. Nice composition and entry into frame as well.

Really nice classic shot. The sharpness of the focus could not be better. I love the balance of the flower with the background. Very nice indeed. Cheers.
