Very nice mood created here Pat. Like the soft pastel colour palette.

Lovely image, Patricia. The lighting really conveys a feeling of rain. I like your good focus on the center of the flower and especially that one raindrop on the right. Also like the OOF drops on the leaf on the left. I would be tempted to crop some off the right so the image isn't centered but that is entirely a personal choice.

Beautifully captured, Patricia, just fading into softness with the distant petal. Wondered initially about a bit of a crop from the sides but, on reflection, think you have the comp absolutely right.

Patricia:
A very lovely iris. The drops add a lot to the image especially the large one on the right with internal reflection. Also like the bg and the OOF drops on the bg leaf given the impression that the drops are sliding of the iris. Great mood.

Very nice soft light and the BG is very complimentary.

I like the rain drops and the look of the bloom Patricia. I wish that the 'dropletted' leav was not directly behind the bloom on the left hand side.

The soft light and rain drops really make this gentle and sweet.

Just lovely - perfect DOF and placement in the frame. The water drops (in and out of focus) are wonderful.
