Gorgeous nature photograph of this Hollyhock. I like the droplets of water on the petals. Looks like crystal beads. Good focus and lighting. Nicely composed. Sharp detail. Well done. Good luck in the photo contest.

Very pretty! I love the delicate pink color with the darker green background. Good job with focus, composition, and lighting. The rain droplets are such a beautiful aspect of your photo as well. Good luck!

This is gorgeous! The flower does look to be drooping and in need of the rain. I'm glad it arrived in time. I really like the lighting on the flower which gives you a dark background and the background is perfect for this photo as well.

This photography is simply beautiful: the layout, the drops of rain laying realistic on so many o the beautiful petals. Beautiful color pinks, greens, and touch of yellow.

A beautiful presentation of this pretty pink Hollyhock. The rain drops add and extra touch of freshness and sharpness. Gorgeous light on the main flower, which shows the details of the petals and drops. All the best in the contest Susan!

Great Entry into the contest here! Beautiful flower, great details captured in the water droplets. The background really brings out the flowers bright colour. The dark edges make for a great composition. Well done! Best of luck
