What a wonderful and colorful flower. I love the reflection in the water droplet. I have tried for a drop shot myself unsuccessully, but I will continue to try after seeing your great shot.

Very nice comp, Bill, and the drop stands out beautifully from the dark BG. Great detail in the drop. I particularly like the sky.

Beautiful flowers and a wonderful clear refraction in the raindrop. The lovely flower color and the raindrop show off nicely against the dark BG.

A beautiful crystalline drop, Bill. I like how the petals help to focus the eye on the drop of water.

Regards,

Carol

Very nice eye movement and a wonderfully clear image in the drop. I'm jealous of the scan quality as I'm still struggling to get good scans from slides.

This exposure is exceptionally well executed technically, but I find that the lower flower kind of distracts me. It looks like the dew has oozed out of a wound in the flower. I am not sure which is stronger, the red droplet or the injured flower.

Interesting light & comp Bill, the black BG works very well.
Really liked the LP and clear house/sky view contained within the drop :toast:

Nice! The reflection within the droplet is especially nice - but the whole image is loely. I like the play of light on the leaves and the water droplets. Well done!
