Decided to post this one. Something I shot a couple of years ago and found perusing my catalog of images. Interested in your feedback on how well this image works.

Techs:
Canon 50D, 100mm f/2.8 Macro
1/60 @ f/8, ISO 400

Larger version included.

Large view looks very nice Keith, like the reflection you've picked up in the droplet.
Delicate and interesting, can't ask for more than that..
Works fine for me

Keith - Great focus on the water droplet - complete with nice refracted anthers ! on a nice OOF background. About the only thing that distracts a little bit is the OOF white portion on the right top.

Beautifully captured detail, Keith, and a very attractive overall colour effect. I feel maybe the sharp areas stand out a bit too much from the background, as if floating - that would be my only ( very subjective ) nit.

Simply beautiful - though I do wish the vertical line of the one petal wasn't so sharp and straight as everything else is so nice and soft
