This is what I saw as I was out, about Sunday morning.

Not quite as sharp as could be. I liked the surface tension of that one raindrop. :cool: Your thoughs ?

Its beautiful Rick, great DOF reveaing all the droplets and the colour is so pretty.

Its beautiful but I would clone out the arrow :D

Nicely captured.

Roger

Thank you both...

The larger version really pops. Roger that was actually quite funny. :O)

Rick

Rick, pretty image but your composition is a tad too loose IMO.

The shot is too wide as the green leaves don't add to the shot. I think had you shifted to your left slightly to get the stamens perfectly head on (and vertical) and moved in to fill the frame with just the one bloom (and not the whole bloom), it would have more impact.

Please don't take any offense. JMHO :)

Thanks Loupey. Great Critique.
I'll try that.Flowers are exploding all over right now.

Thanks again for the tips to improve.
