Tim, another really nice environmental shot. Almost feel like I need a towel after viewing this. Seriously though, you have captured the lushness and wetness of the area very well. :cool:

Love the little portraits of nature, and this is no exception, very nice colors, and the water drops really make it stand out. Very nice indeed Tim.

Beautiful little blooms and the dewdrops are great. A bit more DOF might have helped bring that back bloom into focus, but with something this small I'm not entirely sure about that! Regardless, nice capture.

Thanks, Phil. The DOF concerned me too but the plane of focus is so minute with a 200mm 1:1 macro I had a problem getting there. Just had to hope that F25 would have done it but not quite. :frown: Apreciate the comment!
