Beautiful color Ken and I like the droplets as well. The comp looks a little like an air foil. I like it. I think your plane of focus and dof decision are particularly interesting in the shot. For my tastes, a good looking and interesting image.

Beautiful POV on this interesting flower. I like the in-focus drops, the out-of-focus edge framing the in-focus parts on the bottom.

Really nice intimate close-up. Good color and dof.

Ken: I think a vertical comp would be more conventional here but this works very well for me as is. Good details on the beard and a fine color palette. >=))>

A unique fiew at the business end - I like how it appears to be peaking out of the petals. I do find the OOF petal on the left a distraction though
