Jaw-dropping...wickedly sweet shot! The thumbnail and...even...the 720 pixel...does not prepare you for the large version. Super! Ken S

OH MY! Stunning Michael. The center being so crisp, and the BG along with the water makes this a "10" in my opinion. :toast:

This is just perfection, Michael ! The centred composition, the delicate colouring, the lighting and the overall sharpness combine to bring out the beauty of this lovely flower.

The clarity and crispness of the larger image is particularly stunning, Mike. I simply love the waterdrops; they are the icing on the cake. :toast:
