    You can make the image more interesting by making the colors richer and the raindrops stand out more.

    Comes across as a wee bit overexposed and a little soft. Contrast isn't quite enough to make the flower jump out at all.

    Composition is a bit odd with the flower being upside down

    Colors look perfect in my monitor

    Re: Roses are Red & Wet

    I like the photo in general, but I agree the rose needs to stand out a bit more from the background. Just looks a tad washed out. I think all that's needed here is to boost the black levels a bit. Also, may play around with some different crops to get the flower off-center?

    You can flip the image and it might be more appealing.
    Also it is almost impossible to get a good pic of a flower with direct or high sunlight.
    When I want to shoot a flower at such times, I look for ways to cast a shadow over it.
    Keep Shooting!
