This is a very nice photo. I love the rain falling down int he background and onto the flower. It gives it a really nice effect. The colors are nice and the focus is good. Great job.

Thank you very much for entering this contest and for sharing your heart with the FAR family.

This blossom indeed looks radiant, as if no storm at all can upset her beauty and strength. The brightness of the image pops and that is solely due to your post processing. The text you have inserted will give many a second breath as we all have storms to bear.

Again, thank you very much for entering this contest.

Love the concept and the freshness of the flower. Certainly, after of the storm always arrives the calm. Love the simplicity of the image and the text that accompanies it. Well done. Luck.

Comment from Darla's Creations
inspirational wording but what really captures my attention is the beautiful colors portrayed. The raindrops on the petals just add to the overall beauty. This was very well done.
