Queen Nefertiti

Nikon D300, Nikkor 70-200 2.8 @170mm. F/8, 1/320, ISO 200.

One of my favourite David Austin Roses. Poor Queen Nefertiti was drenched but managed to regain her regal composure. Comments appreciated.

Beautifully done Albert, love the soft colors and detail, and the water drops bring it over the top. Well done.

I like this Albert. The only suggestion I would make would be to increase the contrast a bit, or otherwise lighten the flower relative to the BG.

Wow...That's a lot of rain drops, Albert. The lighting is nice preventing all the reflections from the water drops. A good looking background also. Very Nice

A bit late to the party, but this is exquisite Albert. Delicate colors, all those great water drops, and a fantastic BG.

This is really nice, Albert. A simple composition, good lighting and, above all, a superb rendering of the textures of the drops and petals.
