Beautiful colors Sue and I really like the droplet with the refraction and it's placement on the lower left power point. I might like a little more dof at the top of the image but I can understand you not wanting to give up the soft green bg. A very fine image for my tastes.

Sue:
Nice composition. Like Pat, I am wanting to see more depth in the drops. Perhaps a stack image may be the way to go if you want to preserve the blur bg.

I love dew or raindrops on tulips, and this one is very nice with the big drop, clean BG and nice colors. I agree with the previous comments however about the DOF. I'd be tempted to crop most of the flower and turn this into a square comp with the big drop as the focus.

I agree with Scott's crop suggestion. The water drop really seems to the focal point here and cropping would emphasize it more. Love the colors! It just screams spring.

The droplet with the reflection is captivating, Sue. Personally, I do not mind the extent of the out of focus petals - I feel you maybe need all that to set off the droplets properly. Great colouring too !
