A very nice capture here with the water drops and the very close up., What size telephoto did you use for this photo? Nice work.

    Thank you very much for your encouraging review. I didn't use telephoto at all. Just the macro function of my camera, the flexible spot AF and a stool to get high and close enough. My camera lense touched almost the petals.

Avery nice close up and with very nice colors. The droplets adds to it

I have looked at:
Initial impact
Story telling ability
Light and shade
Color
Texture
Technique
Composition
Focal point
Framing
Originality
All worth 5 stars.

This is a lovely simple statement that is both appealing and interesting on the viewing front. Nice lighting and focusing. All up this is a very pleasant shot. Robin

This is a very beautiful picture. I love the composition in this. I like the water drpos on the flowers.
Color harmony is very nice here. I love inks and greens together and I really like that the background is blurred.
Nice job!

wonderful colors in this photograph!! Great DOF. amazing reflection in the water drop at the bottom of the image :) great composition, however a crop from the left and top of the image may frame it better?? just my opinion :) and who am i :) all together a lovely photo of a gorgeous flower... after the rain. thank you for sharing. :)

    Thank you for your kind review and advice. I have tried a crop as you suggest but I think it takes to much of the contrasting green and the contest required Bokeh effect away.

Good choice for the contest. Composition and framing are good. Lighting is even. Colors are vivid, but natural. Focus is sharp and water drops/textures a nice touch. DOF has created a pleasing bokeh. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the contest.
